The busy pace of modern life sometimes makes it difficult to
find a balance between mental and physical health. Body &
Brain’s newest Qigong Basics course is designed to help clients
achieve holistic well-being in a fun and rewarding way.
Body & Brain Yoga Tai Chi is currently offering a special
online course introducing the basics of qigong. Qigong is a
traditional practice from East Asia that supports overall health
and wellness for the body, mind, and soul. At its core, the
practice encourages awareness of qi, or energy, and teaches
students how to balance that energy through meditation, breathwork,
visualization, and mindful movements.
Body & Brain classes are offered in over 80 locations across
the United States, along with online courses and coaching sessions
for those who aren’t near a physical location. The new Qigong
Basics course makes it possible for anyone to connect with the Body
& Brain practice from anywhere in the United States.
Although qigong is an ancient practice, it is easy to adapt to
online classes. The practice helps participants engage their
natural vital energy and free the energy blockages that lead to
mental and physical discomfort. Qigong students learn how to listen
to their bodies, cultivate a sense of mindfulness, and integrate
the teachings of qigong into everyday life.
The six-week Qigong Basics course will introduce essential
principles and techniques of qigong along with a simple form
(series of postures and movements) to memorize. The movements and
postures stimulate the energy system of the body, including the
chakras, meridians, and energy points, to improve overall
wellness.
Some benefits of qigong include enhanced balance, leg strength,
and breathing. Additionally, qigong can help with stress
management. It may also help lower blood pressure and ease certain
arthritic pain. Qigong is gentle enough for all ages and conditions
but can also benefit athletes, fitness enthusiasts, experienced
yoga practitioners, and martial artists.
Qigong helps people of all ages and fitness levels to better
understand their bodies through a series of natural movements and
breathing techniques. Even those who haven’t exercised regularly
for a while will enjoy the slow, gentle movements and positive
focus of qigong.
The online course makes it possible to comprehensively learn
basic techniques and enjoy the whole-body benefits of qigong
without ever having to leave home.
The Qigong Basics course will be taught by David Driscoll, a
Body & Brain National Qigong Trainer. The class begins
Saturday, May 11, and continues each Saturday at 9 a.m. PT through
June 15. Each session will be 70 minutes long. Recordings of each
online session will be available for registrants to practice with
between the weekly live sessions.
Interested participants can find more information or register
for Qigong Basics online. A $25 Introduction to Qigong webinar will
be offered on World Tai Chi and Qigong Day, April 27, at 9 a.m. PT
for those who are interested in learning more about the course.
