Qigong \;is a main branch of Chinese M edicine. It \;is the practice of accumulating\, circulating\, and cult ivating the body&rsquo\;s energy. This practice \;offers simple\, easy to learn\, self-empowering exercises \;for bringing your emotions and body into balance. \;These \;varied exercises can be lifting and energizing or calming and sedating so you can tailor your daily practice t o what is needed in the moment. When practiced regularly with conscious br eathing and mindful awareness\, \;qigong \;stimulates the body&rsq uo\;s inherent healing energy and fosters its healthful flow throughout th e body.
\nJoin us for a three-part series with Rebecca Ness\, LAc\, to learn more about how practicing qigong in community with others can hel p us process the stresses of today's world collectively.
\nR egistration is required and intended for all three classes. \ ;
\nThis Qigong Series is generously funded by a grant from the Bexley Wellness Fund of the Bexley Community Foundation.
