Qigong Labs

This gentle movement series is designed to introduce participants to the foundations of qigong, a centuries-old practice that blends posture, breath, and mindful attention to support whole-body wellness.

  • Learn the fundamentals of qigong: posture, breath coordination, and relaxed awareness.
  • Explore the eight classic Ba Duan Jin movements and their practical purpose.
  • Experience how to connect breath and movement to cultivate steadiness and focus.
  • Develop ways to apply qigong principles to daily activities and stress management.

A skilled movement and martial arts practitioner will guide you through Ba Duan Jin, or “Eight Pieces of Brocade,” one of the most well-known and approachable qigong routines.

Qigong Essentials is suitable for beginners, older adults, and anyone looking for a low-impact way to restore resilience. Each class breaks down one of the eight movements, exploring how simple, intentional motion can improve balance, mobility, and energy regulation.
