QIGONG

Qigong (pronounced chee-kung) is a series of exercises designed to increase strength and vitality. Much like tai chi, movements are slow and fluid, which helps reduce stress and anxiety. The class concentrates on the 18 Lohan Hands, an ancient Chinese form passed down from the Shaolin Temple. Each session begins with a full body warm-up followed by standing exercises to ease the body into movement, followed by floor exercises on the mat and mindfulness meditations to clear the mind and improve concentration.Dorothy Mandrakos, certified Yoga instructor.
