Qigong offers a gentle, accessible way to build strength, improve balance, and boost energy—without strain or impact. Its slow, flowing movements calm the nervous system, ease stiffness, and enhance stability, helping reduce the risk of falls. At the same time, the breathing and mindful focus support relaxation, better sleep, and a clearer, more positive mindset. Qigong meets you exactly where you are—sitting or standing—and helps you feel more steady, more confident, and more connected in your daily life.

Qigong blends gentle movement, regulated breathing, and focused attention or visualization. It can be practiced sitting or standing, making it accessible for nearly anyone.

• Breath: Slow, deep, and relaxed. Practitioners may use abdominal breathing or breathing coordinated with specific sounds.
• Movement: Smooth, soft, and flowing to support relaxation and circulation.
• Mind: Calm focus, visualization, or quiet awareness.

No previous experience is required—this class is designed for everyone, including those with chronic health conditions, beginners, and accomplished athletes alike. Join us and reconnect with the natural rhythm of your body in a supportive, empowering space.
