Qigong
Qigong is the practice of distinctive movements for the cultivation and mastery of qi, or life-force energy. Qigong is similar to taiji and yoga. Widely practiced in Asia, qigong has recently become popular in the West as an approach to overall health and well-being.
Integrative Health Seminars
We offer a variety of integrative health workshops and series. Our informal class instructors offer classes to the public that delve into natural health including diet and lifestyle, mindfulness, movement therapies, and mind-body practices.
