Qigong (pronounced chi-gung`) is the ancient art of "energy work." It is practiced by millions of people around the world because it’s very relaxing, easy and slow yet has instant effects on your health and well-being. Qigong has been passed down for centuries because it effectively renews your own energy, helping to create harmony and balance in your life and achieve a peaceful mind state.

Qigong differs from other forms of exercise because it gently and easily enhances the natural energy that resides in your body instead of decreasing it, as normal exercise does. It increases strength and muscle tone while lowering cortisol, your body's natural stress hormone.

It's perfect for stressed parents, overworked individuals, chronic fatigue sufferers and more.

Best of all, it works anywhere, any time for all fitness levels, including those with limited movement and mobility. Qigong is perfect for those who have difficulty quieting their minds or bodies. Qigong:

• Quiets your mind and your body
• Induces relaxation
• Reduces stress
• Boosts your immune system
• Strengthens and tone muscles
• Increases flexibility
• Improves posture and respiration
• Improves clarity of thought, concentration and awareness
• Builds confidence in yourself
• Reduces chronic pain

Qigong classes are taught in a group setting, with up to 20 individuals – ideal for drawing from the energy of the group to increase the benefits and have fun!
