Movement Moves Us: Qigong
Qigong is the study and practice of cultivating vital life-force through various techniques, including breathing techniques and postures. Through study, the individual aims to develop the ability to manipulate Qi in order to promote self-healing, prevent disease, and increase longevity. Participants will need space to stand and move their arms freely.
