Qi” means energy and “Gong” means skill or cultivation. Rooted in ancient Chinese medicine, Qi Gong is “the skill of cultivating your life-force energy.” Through gentle, flowing movements, deep breathing, and meditation, Qi Gong helps you cultivate positive, life-force energy and promote healing from within.
Join Tanya Embree as she leads us through flowing movements, focused breathing, and the mindfulness of Qi Gong to awaken your body and mind. The basic movements are not complicated and do not need to be memorized. This practice is accessible to all ages and abilities. Qi Gong is commonly referred to as the art of effortless movement.
After a cultivation of this life-force energy through movement, Tanya invites you to deepen the experience with a relaxing sound immersion experience. After getting comfortable lying down or sitting, a variety of overtone-emitting instruments will be introduced in succession. Instruments include gongs, Himalayan and crystal singing bowls, chimes, and harmonium. The sounds and vibrations are intended to induce deep relaxation and promote a sense of well-being by synchronizing the body’s natural rhythms.
