What is QiGong?
Qigong is a practice of slow, deliberate movement coordinated with breath and attention. In this one-hour class, that practice is brought to the body's mobility — the way the hips, knees, back, and feet move, the steadiness of balance, the strength of the legs, and the quiet relationship between movement and the emotions held in the body.
This is somatic work: small, attentive movements done with awareness rather than effort. Nothing here is forced. The practice meets the body where it is and works from there.
What the practice works with?
Breath-led movement
Supports a settled, downregulated nervous system.
Attention
Notice how stress and held emotion live in the body, and how movement facilitates their release.
Slow standing and shifting work
Strengthens the legs and improve balance.
Gentle, weight-bearing movement
Supports range of motion through the hips, knees, back, and feet.
Who this class is for?
This class is for those living with stiffness and persistent pain — in the back, hips, knees, or feet — and for those living with conditions such as arthritis, bursitis, fibromyalgia, osteopenia, or osteoporosis. It is for those recovering from a sports injury or from surgery. It is for anyone who wants to move with more steadiness and more strength in the legs, and for those who carry stress and anxiety in the body and want a place to set it down.
The class is appropriate for all ages and is adapted to the body in the room. People living with early-stage Parkinson's and other conditions affecting movement and motor control are welcome; the movements can be scaled and supported to meet each person needs.
Alongside the rest of your movement life
If you have a diagnosed condition or are recovering from surgery, let the instructor know before class so the practice can be adapted for you.
