*Open to beginners
This qigong form is inspired by the sense that beauty and love can awaken one’s consciousness.  The form has a nourishing quality, as if to sustain one during a long quest or journey.  And all of us, in some aspect, are on a common quest:  a search for happiness.  This form is practiced while sitting cross-legged on the floor or seated in a chair.

Awakening the Soul Qigong and Zhongtian Yiqi meditation
Friday 12-1pm
July 30 - Sept 10 (no class 8/20)

6 weeks for $75

*Open to beginners
Awakening the Soul is a simple qigong form consisting of eight movements done while sitting in a chair. Awakening the Soul can also be described as distilling the soul—clarifying it.  And with the renewed clarity comes a deeper understanding of one’s life.  It is like breathing new life into the body; starting again with an open heart.  Zhongtian Yiqi is a non-moving qigong. From a place of relaxation and focus, one guides the qi along the central channel.  As one progresses, the act of guiding one's qi slowly transforms into the qi guiding the mind.  This is a calming and nourishing experience that brings one a sense of peace and connection.
