Movement as Nourishment, Movement as Medicine

   Joyful Movement Qigong is a gentle practice of self-care. We nourish our joints and connective
    tissue, our energy reservoirs, and our sense of well-being. By attending to our physical posture,
    breath and intention, we access the Qigong State of Presence. In this state, the vital life force
    energy-  Qi  -  flows more freely, the spirit calms, and the body's innate capacity for self-healing
    and self-regeneration is accelerated. Joyful Movement Qigong is beneficial and accessible for
    people of all ages and abilities. It can be practiced standing, sitting or lying down. Moving
    mindfully in a community amplifies the power of the practice and is great fun!  Join us.
