Qigong for Mindful Movement - Online only 1:00

This is an online only class.

Heart Song—a 6 Session Qigong Series Beginning July 23 and ending August 27

Life is a song, and your heart is its most vital instrument.

How can the song of our heart shine brightly, even when internal or external energies become chaotic, draining, or challenging? How can we help our hearts feel more attuned to life’s rhythms and resonate more fully with our experiences?

Discover a series of qigong sequences designed to care for, protect, and regulate your physical, mental, emotional, and energetic well-being, aligning with the Fire element and Summer season. Cultivate a heart that meets life’s complexities with greater ease, openness, and resilience.

Join John for a six session journey into nurturing and liberating the song of your heart. Together, we will harmonize the heart’s song, strengthening its capacity for insight, wisdom, and compassion – allowing it to sing freely and fully in the world.

About this Class:

Qigong (pronounced “Chi Gung” and sometimes referred to as “Chinese Yoga”) is both a set of practices and a way of being, dedicated to cultivation of life force and enhancement of health and vitality on the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual levels. The movements are gentle and suitable for all ages and health profiles, adaptable to personal needs and preferences. 

Our classes and programs are funded by grants, sponsors, donors and clients who are paying it forward. Cancer can be expensive; we do not want finances to be a barrier to accessing our valuable programming. Pay-as-you-can with a suggested donation amount per class of $10-$25.
