QIGONG for beginners

Qigong (chee-GONG) is a current name for what was formerly known as Taoist breathing exercises that date back nearly 5,000 years. Qi means energy, the energy of the universe. Gong means to gather with skill, thus qigong is to gather energy from the universe with practiced skill. Like tai chi, gigong appears to be a gentle slow rhythmic movement, usually done while standing. Controlled breathing as well as concentration and physical control enhance the flow of blood and energy, thus increasing flexibility and good physical and mental condition. No experience is needed. Held at River Road Park. No class on Friday, November 27th.
