Introduction to Qigong for Greater Vitality
Event Information
About this event
Qigong is a powerful energy cultivation practice over 5,000 years old. Qigong increases vitality, enhances performance, calms the mind, reduces stress, and improves strength and flexibility, to name a few health benefits.
Qigong movements are simple, fun, and easy to learn for people of all ages and varying health. When taking classes over time, the class exercises tend to change with the seasons and support your body's natural balance and immune functioning.
Join us for this free 45-minute introductory class as a member of PartnerMD so that you can learn more about this health practice and see if you would like to pursue it further. This class will be held via Zoom and can be done standing or sitting. No special equipment or apparel is needed. Learn more about Qigong here.
