Qi Gong for Health - New!


Price: $ 80.00   (Adults and Teens)

Qi Gong 2 2 Qi Gong 2 2 Qi Gong is a Chinese system of exercise based on Traditional Chinese Medicine that has been around for over 5,000 years.  Qi Gong will awaken your body's innate healing powers by combining movement, massage, meditation and breathing.  Because most Qi Gong forms are simple and repetitive, they are more accessible than many Tai Chi forms, so one can feel the effects (feelings of calm and good health) almost immediately.  The practice also builds strength, improves balance and leaves you feeling peaceful and relaxed.

The instructor, Michael Sieverts has been teaching Qi Gong in the community for 12+ years.

  • INSTRUCTOR:  Michael Sieverts
  • TIME:  Saturdays, 8:45 - 10:00 am (beginning 3/21/15)
