This class is gentle but powerful!

The meditative movements and breathing of qigong help you to stay healthy, build your internal energy, soothe your nervous system, and create a loving body connection with yourself. This class helps you find your own center and clarity, connecting you with your inner wisdom.​

Each class is its own movement meditation journey.

As you gently move and breathe in these qigong practices, you’ll:

• build healthful energy in your organs and every cell of your body
• increase the flexibility of your body
• expand your intelligence
• increase your intuition
• build your protective chi (wei chi), the energy field around your body which helps protect you from “germs,” as well as unhealthy energies of a more non-physical sort
• cultivate a loving and healing connection with your body
• increase pelvic well being, sensation, and connection

You will feel transformed by the end of class! Really!

Benefits of Qigong

What Women Experience As a Result of This Class

At the most basic level, qigong is wonderful for building health and well-being in the body. And, over time, through the ways that I present it, I have found that its effects go far deeper and wider than just increasing health – as if that weren’t already enough!

I’m always amazed at the feedback that I get from the women who attend the classes. I have heard things such as:

• I feel more connected to my body
• I feel stronger
• I’m getting better at having good boundaries
• I feel so relaxed and simultaneously energized
• I feel more grounded and I know where my center is
• I’m regaining pelvic sensation after cesarean births (and other pelvic trauma)
• I notice old emotional trauma leaving
• This is really yummy!
• I’m more inspired

I feel really grateful and honored to be sharing qigong in a way that has such a far-reaching and powerful impact for women!

This class might be a fit for you if:

• You want to work with the energy behind qigong movements
• You want a deeper connection with your body
• You want to love, honor, and support yourself more as a woman

This may not be the right class for you if:

• You want to learn a specific qigong routine. If this is the case, you might want to check out my online Introduction to Qigong for Women self study course.
• You aren’t interested in the energy aspect of qigong.
• You are solely looking to get some exercise in qigong class
