Qigong Meditation & Story Circle

The pressures of work, home, and the world we live in these days can become overwhelming.  Taking time for yourself to renew your body, mind, and spirit is essential for a more peaceful, loving, and healthier life.  Whether you are a beginner or advanced meditator, these classes will offer you time to unwind and give your thinking mind a rest, while you get back to your inner self for some peace and relaxation.   The class consists of some qigong movements to move energy in your body and quiet your mind, meditating on a zen story, movements to feel the energy in your body, and moving or guided meditations.  This class is for everyone, from beginners to advanced,  teens, adults, and seniors.  Classes are available for business groups as well.

3 Body Qigong

3 Body Qigong is a general form of preventive maintenance for your 3 bodies; physical body, energy body, and spiritual body.  It includes body tapping and vibration (to move blood and energy in your body), meridian stretching (to help improve the flow of blood and energy in your body), and exercises to build power in your lower dantian (core/lower abdomen).  This class will also include learning how to feel energy, as well as guided, still, moving or music meditation to help reconnect you with the inner world of your true self. Feeling stress, depression, loneliness, physically exhausted or achy? Try this class.

Note: Have a mat. This will include movements on the floor. Available for all ages.

Here is what some have said about this class:

 “Your Qigong class has helped me stretch my muscles and self-adjust my joints.  Being a Fibromyalgia sufferer, this helps keep me pain-free.   I become stronger the longer I am in your class! “ 

 “Since starting Qigong with David during the pandemic, my health has improved. I am more flexible, I can breathe deeper, my core has been strengthened and I love the meditations. I would highly recommend this class as David has a wonderful teaching style.”

 “What a worthwhile hour spent rejuvenating and clearing energy. I didn’t know what Qigong was when I signed up for it but I felt welcomed and comfortable and after I felt both relaxed and a sense of well-being.”

David has a consistent calming, engaging, and caring style of teaching, which allows any level of student to enjoy his class. I’m very grateful to have access to his class from the comfort of my Zoom classroom.  

While I did not feel comfortable being on-screen during the exercises, I still felt comfortable doing the exercises since he showed how to do each one. That was very helpful since this is my first class with David. I love that David gives us a link to a recording of the class so that we can practice each week andI appreciate that he keeps the classes affordable. I would definitely recommend David's classes to others.

I appreciate how David crafts each class. There are some parts that stay the same to move the energy. However, he adds something different to every class.He is mindful of the diversity of the group, and offers other poses when someone might not be able to do one. I also enjoyed how he adds a few minutes of "free movements"  and a short meditation towards the end of the class. He always has time for questions at the end of the session.

3 Body qigong for Seniors

These classes are similar to the 3 Body Qigong and meditation and mindfulness classes  with the exception being everyone is seated (with the option to stand of course!).  I will adapt the program for the group, based on capabilities.   This class will include some body tapping, meridian stretching and exercises to build power in your lower dantien (core/lower abdomen).  All classes will include guided, moving or music meditation and some self healing.  I have been teaching at 2 senior communities for a few years now with the same group showing up each week!
