Description:
Join us for a transformative day of practice as we explore the beautiful and timeless art of Qi Gong, a powerful form of mindful movement. Through step-by-step guidance, interwoven with periods of stillness and sitting, we’ll experience how breath and body work in harmony to promote a myriad of benefits, such as balance, vitality, and well-being. We’ll also uncover the deep connection between Qi Gong and the first foundation of mindfulness from the Satipaṭṭhāna Sutta, a cornerstone of Dharma practice. By cultivating inner Qi (sometimes translated as internal energy force), we’ll foster a sense of energy flow and ease in our everyday practice. All levels of experience welcome!
