The Chinese healing art of qigong has been a source of health and longevity for women for thousands of years. These exercises combine deep abdominal breathing, gentle movements, and visualization to prevent and heal disease.
Used in China to treat everything from cancer to high blood pressure, qigong is easy to learn, and you will experience immediate benefits from this simple yet profound healing system. It's easier than yoga, Pilates, or tai chi, and suitable for all ages and fitness levels.
In this workshop led by Deborah Davis, we learn a form of qigong specifically designed for women to increase energy, prevent breast cancer, strengthen bones, and regulate hormones and heart function. Part of the class is held outside so we can nourish ourselves with the healing qi of nature.
Workshop begins Friday at 7:30 p.m. For women only; all fitness levels are welcome.
Required Reading: Davis, Women's Qigong for Health and Longevity.
