Integral Qigong and Tai Chi: 1st Fridays, 9-10AM at "The Castle"

Qigong: ancient Chinese energy healing practices. Gentle, meditative movement, breathwork. Integrated w/ Tai Chi for balance, concentration. Qigong is an ancient Chinese energy healing practice. Translated as "Life Force Cultivation," it involves gentle, meditative movement and breathwork. Qigong promotes overall wellness, boosts immune functioning, and engenders a sense of well being and wholeness. Tai Chi as a martial art is based on the same ancient principles as Qigong. In our practice, we integrate meditative Tai Chi moves to improve balance and concentration. 9:00-10:00AM (1 hour) on the first Friday of each month 9:30-10:00AM (30 minutes) every Friday Please email or text before coming, so that I will know to look for you! 323.515.9077 The location is "The Castle" at Pilgrim Place, 733 Plymouth Rd, Claremont, CA.
