Activate Your Healer Within

Qigong (pronounced chee-gong), the practice of energy cultivation, and Tai Chi (pronounced tie-chee), the practice of balance and harmony, are ancient Chinese exercises that promote optimal health, vitality and longevity.

The 4 components to Qigong/Tai Chi are:
Mindful Movements, Breathwork, Meditation, and Self-Applied Massage

Mindful movements, synchronized with the breath, gently exercise and stretch the body.
Deep breathing and meditation relaxes and centers the body, mind and spirit.
Self-applied massage of hands, feet, ears and scalp stimulate acupressure points to improve organ function , the immune system and energy flow.

Qigong exercises can be done seated, standing or lying down, thus, they are an excellent practice for those who are recovering from surgery illness or injury. Tai Chi exercises help to improve balance,  prevent falls, and brings harmony into our lives.  Qigong/Tai Chi reduces stress and improves all practitioners' overall health and sense of well-being.
