COURSE DESCRIPTION

Qi Gong translates roughly to "energy work" from Mandarin. Qi (energy or life force) circulates through our body through the combination of postures, breathing, and concentration. Our day-to-day life is filled with stress and prolonged sedentary posture which causes the qi to slow down and fester. Symptoms like lethargy, lack of focus, and increased susceptibility to getting sick start to appear.

Therapeutic qigong utilizes a wide variety of exercises in combination with TCM diagnostics. These exercises are prescribed to patients to treat illnesses and to maintain good health. Students learn specific postures, movements, and visualizations that have been shown to benefit common conditions seen in the practice of TCM.
