What is QiGogn
What is Qigong

Qigong is a self-care practice that combines mindful movement with gentle breathing to bring balance wherever you need it most. This Chinese exercise system sometimes known as “acupuncture without needles” or “chinese yoga”, can be done sitting, lying down, or standing, and is adaptable for all ages and all levels. Sometimes referred to as “moving meditation”, Qigong brings you to a rested yet alert state through the integration of posture, body movements, breathing, and focused intention. 

 

Qigong can help reduce stress, improve immune function, strengthen internal organs, and calm the mind to promote improved health, vitality and youthfulness. Qigong movements aid in relaxation and centering, and increase flexibility, balance, and body awareness and help to facilitate physical, emotional and spiritual benefits. Through the cultivation of your own energy the parasympathetic system responds so you feel more energized and relaxed, helping to awaken to a new way of being, in mind, body, and spirit.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

​I treasure practicing with Ann.  She is a motivating instructor who seamlessly identifies and focuses on techniques that benefit me and my colleagues at every class.  After each session I return to work with physical energy and a clear mind.
