Wondering About Qi?

Sep 30, 2024 02:44PM ● By Jerome Bilaos

According to Chinese medicine, qi is energy or life force that flows throughout the body. Qi gong (an energy practice that dates back thousands of years) and tai chi form connect body, mind, and breath to facilitate the movement of qi throughout the body rather than allowing for stagnation that may cause pain or disease.

This November, join certified instructors Patty Pagano and Judy Blanco for a 2-day experiential workshop that guides participants in the practice of each qi method with its still and gentle moving methods that allow for the cultivation and movement of qi throughout the body. Instruction includes learning about the  characteristics of qi, plus explanations, detailed demonstrations, and practice.

The workshop will take place from 9am to 2pm on November 9 and 16 at the Martinsville Community Center in Martinsville. The workshop fee is $295 if registered before November 1, and $325 thereafter.

To register and for information contact Patty at 908-392-1313 or [email protected]; or Judy at 908-902-0011 [email protected]. See ad, page 17.
