QiGong for Cancer Survivors & Chronic Illness
QiGong is a form of gentle, exacting movement and still meditation that uses the breath and mind to work with the body’s energy (or Qi). The intention is to help patients regain a deep sense of trust in their bodies and to encourage an open, relaxed, and calm mental state that more readily allows self-healing. This class is best suited to cancer patients and those with chronic illnesses.
Yuan Gong is an updated, gentle and effective practice of QiGong, a traditional Chinese healing system (the origin of T’aiChi). This class focuses on improving health and well-being and is appropriate for people experiencing cancer and chronic conditions.
