World Tai Chi and Qigong Day
Free Workshops!
Saturday, April 25, is World Tai Chi and Qigong Day. I will offer two free Qigong workshops on that day. These classes are part of a worldwide celebration of Tai chi and Qigong. All around the world, students of these two aligned arts will be practicing in community groups.
Everyone is Welcome
No experience is necessary to come. Beginners are welcome. Experienced students are welcome too. We want to build a big field of Qi we can all share in. This workshop will happen whatever the weather: sunshine, rain, or clouds. If it rains, we will go inside to the studio.

Qigong and the Five Flows
Qigong (“Chee Gung”) is the art, science, and philosophy of natural healing and personal energy management. Qigong is extremely effective in increasing wellness, ensuring longevity, and curing many ailments. Five Flows Self-Healing Qigong, is a foundational set of 12 exercises that teaches many fundamentals of a proper, powerful Qigong practice, while bringing great amounts of healing Qi to your body.
Community Qigong
These Qigong classes are introductory. For those who haven’t done any Qigong before, it is a chance to experience a little of its joyful, internal healing power. For everybody it is an opportunity to practice, and to share a healing experience with others in a beautiful garden setting amidst nature. If the weather is wet, we will practice in the indoor space.

From the World Tai Chi and Qigong Day Website
“WTCQD’s annual event is both moving and inspiring, as people from over 65 nations in hundreds of cities, and all 50 US States, come together to wrap the world, in a global Tai Chi and Qigong movement.”
“Our primary mission is personal and global health & healing. We work toward this goal by educating millions of the emerging medical research on Tai Chi and Chi Kung, explaining the nuances of Tai Chi & Chi Kung in plain language, and connecting people with local teachers.”
[note: "Chi Kung" is the other common spelling for Qigong.]
