Qi Gung Workshop, noon Sunday, Mar. 21

FREE @ PSFC, 782 Union St., Brooklyn. All are welcome. RSVP @ 347-461-2028.
What you can expect from this introductory workshop:
A series of warm up exercises and gentle stretches will ease muscle/ joint tension and fatigue. Posture and breathing techniques are emphasized as we go through simple movements. The effect enhances the circulation of Qi, or energy throughout the body. You will feel calmer and energized. The gentler you are on your body while performing Qi Gung the greater the health benefit will be. A self- massage technique will be taught to reduce any discomfort.
"Six healing sounds" Specific sounds are verbalized while performing Qi Gung creating a healing vibration within the internal organs and their energetic pathways. (The same pathways acupuncturists use in treatment.)

Qi Gung is similar to Tai Qi Chuan but is much easier to learn.
Some soreness can occur after we begin using muscles that have been neglected or when Qi begins to circulate in previously blocked pathways. Regular practice will reduce joint pain, calm the mind, strengthen the back & legs, tone the abdomen & thighs and reduce many symptoms.
