Qigong for Life Balance, Herndon, VA

What does it mean to feel “out of balance?”  Maybe we notice that we are moving awkwardly, tripping or falling. Perhaps we see ourselves over-reacting to situations or ‘numbing out” when overwhelmed. We may experience racing thoughts or mental dullness, feel overworked or bored. It is often difficult to find a way to reconnect with our center, where we stand tall, react appropriately, and enjoy healthy helpings of work and play.

Qigong (pronounced “chee gong”) is a centuries old mind-body-spirit system of practices that can help guide us back to our center. Gentle rhythmic movements help to realign the body and improve flexibility, while focused breathing and visualization encourage us to act with thoughtful intention, and allow us to respond to challenging situations with greater creativity. Sometimes called “moving meditation,” Qigong offers us a chance to realign with our center, improving both internal and external balance.

All levels welcome. Movements can be modified to suit individual needs.
