About QiGong
QiGong is an ancient Chinese art that combines guided meditation with breathing techniques, gentle movement and visualization to promote healing, balance, and circulate your body’s vital energy. In Traditional Chinese Medicine and Martial Arts, “QiGong” is a practice of breathing, physical movement, and mind to cultivate and balance Qi (Chi) which is the “intrinsic life energy”. Traditional QiGong dates back to 4000 years and incorporates rhythmic breathing with slow repetition of fluid movement, a calm mindful state, and visualization of guiding qi through the body along meridians paths.

Learn the Chinese principles of “Ying-Yang”, “Taiji” & “Wuji” to breathe correctly and manage internal/external energy flows. Some portions of the class may involve seated breathing and meditation exercises. This program is particularly suited to those who want to experience a gentler but empowering form of fitness and exercise, as well as anyone living with Stress, Chronic Pain or other Accessibility challenges (e.g., Parkinson’s, Arthritis).

For those who want a gentler form of exercise, danceScape also offers danceTONE fitness which emphasizes Cardio and Toning.
