Group and Individual Qigong Classes

Is Qigong right for you?

You can begin a Qigong practice no matter your age, gender, physical ability, or prior experience with meditative movement or energy work. Qigong does not discriminate. Whether you live a relatively sedentary lifestyle, are an athlete, or move and exercise regularly, a Qigong practice will benefit you.

The gentle movements can be done even if you have arthritis or other joint ailments. For those that have difficulty standing and those that are in wheelchairs, Qigong can be done while sitting and even be modified to practice while lying on your back.

If you are looking to enhance your own well being or increase energy, want sharpened mental focus, and reduced pain, Qigong is right for you.

Group Qigong Courses

Group courses are a great way to have fun learning with and from each other. Through interacting with each other you will learn from each other’s mistakes and celebrate each other’s successes.

The fees, dates, and times for group courses are less than for private courses and are set by the host/organizer. 

Private Qigong Lessons – for individual students

In private lessons you will receive personal attention and we can better modify the movements to fit your particular needs.

Lessons can be taught in your back yard, a local park, or via Zoom. The full course requires a minimum of 6 hours of instruction.  Evenings and weekends are available for private lessons. We will meet for one hour each week for 6 consecutive weeks. Another option is to meet for 90 minutes each week for 4 weeks.
