Transformative Qigong for Women Online
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 a 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
- increased pelvic well being, sensation, and connection
You will feel transformed by the end of class! Really!
This class is open to women of all ages and abilities.

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!

I wanted to let you know that I am really enjoying your classes. Combining the qigong with the belly dancing is amazing. I have been taking dance classes off and on for almost 20 years, and this is the first one where I feel completely in my body. And I have developed more core strength in the last month than with any other exercise I’ve done. I am very grateful for all that you offer.
For most of my life I didn’t have a healthy masculine presence, so I had to be my own man and stifle my feminine side. In fact I came to believe femininity was a weakness to be purged. But that was harming me in the long run. Annya’s classes have been an important tool in reclaiming that side of myself and in healing overall. Now I move in the world differently and I notice men wanting to be “the man” and do nice things for me much more, plus I feel better in my body. I’ve even changed the way I dress. These classes are a great investment.

If the regular class time doesn’t work for you, it’s possible to do the Transformative Qigong class solely on the replay.
While I recommend that you attend live if possible, I have had students take the class entirely through the recordings, and they have received tons of benefit.
If you want to do this option, know that recordings are available for 7 days after each individual class. This helps give you encouragement and accountability to actually do the class on your own time. Because, of course, if you don’t do the practice, you don’t get the benefit!
Be aware that it is your responsibility to watch the replay within the 7 day replay period. I do not offer refunds or make ups for any classes that you were not able to view during the allotted time.
It is the student’s responsibility to know when class is happening and to be present online at the appointed time or to watch the replay within the allotted replay time.

I have been taking qigong classes, workshops, and doing qigong meditation with Annya for several years. I always feel so much better after doing it. I am able to move stagnant energy through and out of my body, which helps me feel more like myself again. Her qigong classes also help me feel more present in my lower body. I highly recommend Annya as a teacher, as well as qigong as a way to restore well being.
I went to a free Qigong intro presented by Annya at the Taos food Co-op. I enjoyed it so much that I joined a weekly class for women. I was so inspired that I asked if she would offer a qigong class at my studio. I find many beautiful overlays with the Feldenkrais Method, and I sense Annya’s extensive training and artistic skill in belly dancing informs her teaching on a deep level. I am looking forward to continued learning.
A deeply empowering class: Annya’s ability to transmit living cellular female wisdom is a healing in itself. Where each woman takes it is up to her.
