Qigong Foundations is an exploration and inquiry into the body’s innate intelligence through Qigong movements. The intention for this workshop is to establish a solid foundation and basic understanding of this ancient movement and healing art, so you can seamlessly incorporate it into your life.

Qigong — sometimes called The Art of Effortless Power — has been practiced for thousands of years in the Far East with tremendous healing and regenerative benefits. Qigong literally translates to ‘life energy cultivation’ (qi is similar to the yogic concept/force of prana). It is a transformative physical, mental and emotional practice, which incorporates flowing movements to sharpen our focus, cultivate inner strength and find equanimity.

Qigong is known to help improve somatic intelligence, create a more balanced and resilient nervous system and improve coordination, circulation and vitality. Discovering qi can enhance your already established movement practice or inspire a new passion for body awareness and energy cultivation.

Our overall goal is to access and illuminate the core competencies of human motion, increase mobility and become more agile.

The benefits of qigong are vast, well documented and accessible for all ages and body shapes.

Research shows improvements with blood pressure, heart function, sexual hormones, hypertension and fibromyalgia. Qigong is known to help induce the relaxation response, which contributes to deeper rest and recovery. Below are some of the benefits.
