Qigong in Baird Creek

What is Qigong? (Pronounced Chi-kung)
“Qigong is a Chinese system of holistic health practice, with roots dating back 5 thousand years. Energy cultivation is an excellent translation for Qigong, because it conveys the idea that, just as an agricultural field is cultivated with careful tending over time to produce food, your own field of life energy is cultivated so that your body and mind are nourished. Qigong brings body, breathing and mind together to perform movements and hold postures that exercise the whole person. While usually performed standing, it can also be preformed seated. Although most Qigong is characterized by slow flowing movements, it can also be still.”
~Katherine Allen The Qigong Bible

If you would like to practice Qigong, please join us at Christa McAuliffe Park May 4, May 11, and May 25th from 9:30-10:30am. We will have a 1-hour session beginning with easy poses. It is a gentle exercise that hits all the areas of the body. Each pose attends to balance, posture, strength, receptivity and relaxation. It is recommended to wear loose clothing, flat shoes and perhaps a hat if we are in the sun!

As a yoga teacher experienced in many styles of yoga, Qigong seemed like an obvious new direction for me. I hope you will join us.
