Finding Your Roots:

This workshop is designed for those who have never done Qigong before, are newer to the practice, or simply want to review some of the important foundations of Medical Qigong.

In the first part of the workshop, Stephanie will share a lecture exploring the history of Qigong, what the practice is and how it differs from other practices such as Tai Chi, and the basic components of a healing Qigong workout, including when and how to practice. You will also learn about some of the primary mechanisms of Qigong: movement, attention, breath, and sound, as well as important energetic points and alignments to keep in mind while practicing.

In the second part of the workshop, we will move into practice. You will learn the foundations of standing posture and breath, along with some basic opening Qigong movements. You will then be guided through a short, foundational Qigong practice that you can return to again and again.
