Qigong Classes
Cost: Less than $6 per class for a series of 12 classes ($70)*
Qigong is an old, developing discipline that combines breathing exercises, movement, self-massage, gong meditation, and healing postures to provide a comprehensive approach to self-healing exercise and meditation.
Both Tai Chi and Qigong are great forms of health and healing, but:
-
Qigong is easy to learn, and it can be practiced at home regularly, while Tai Chi requires memorization of movements
-
There are infinite numbers of Qigong styles that suit everyone's level, while Tai Chi movements can be long and challenging
-
Qigong exercises can be practiced while sitting, standing, or lying down, while Tai Chi is a continuous and moving meditation
