This class focuses primarily on Qigong. Qigong is an over five-thousand year-old Chinese health exercise that combines slow graceful movements with mental concentration and breathing to increase and balance a person’s vital energy - Qi. It is an integral part of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Some refer to it as Chinese yoga. Qigong is especially effective in reducing stress thus enhancing the immune system and preventing illness. As such, it acts as an anti-aging method. Qigong is not just a physical exercise system, it is a healing technique. Mindful movement is an exercise performed with awareness. It is putting attention and focus on noticing and feeling what the body does while engaging in movement. It is a mental focus and practice of being aware of our entire body. Mindful movement allows us to recognize the capability and potential of our bodies.

As such, combining Qigong (which is a form of mindful movement) with mindful movement can have profound positive effect on our bodies.
