RAINBOW SUN QIGONG Every Wednesday, 9:00 – 10:00 a.m. Barbara Evans-Levine Qigong (pronounced chee-gong) is an ancient Chinese mind-body-spirit practice that incorporates gentle physical postures, breathing techniques and mental focus. Qi is life force energy that flows through everything in the Universe and Gong means steady practice or cultivation. Qigong involves skillfully cultivating life force Qi while clearing and moving blocked Qi. The goal is to fill yourself and surround yourself with life-sustaining Qi - for healing, maintaining health, and aligning to one’s spirit, bringing inner peace. Fee: $7 per class Barbara Evans-Levine has studied Qigong for the last 7 years with several Qigong Masters. Barbara recently returned from China & Tibet where she was part of a Tai Chi/Qigong study tour deepening her Qigong practice. Barbara’s focus is to assist students in achieving balance and harmony in their lives by incorporating a Qigong practice, empowering their own self-healing.
