QI GONG WORKSHOP
Saturday, August 27, 2016, 9:30-11:30am. Investment: $40. Location: Kingston Waterfront

In this workshop you will learn the “8 Pieces of Brocades” which consists of a sequence of eight gentle standing exercises performed slowly and gracefully to coincide with the breath. It is easy and fun to learn and takes about 10 to 15 minutes from start to finish. The ‘8 Pieces‛ leaves you feeling energized, refreshed and ready to go. You will also learn energy release and activation exercises to clear energetic blockages, turning stress into vitality. 

Qi Gong is a long term training program practiced to circulate, cultivate, regulate, enhance, and guide internal energies to achieve health, vitality, and spiritual awareness. It is an ancient Chinese system of healing and rejuvenation. It involves using your mind, conscious breathing and body to direct the flow of energy.
