Qigong for Upper Back & Neck I

In this gentle Qigong sequence, we stretch and soften the lines of tension often associated with lower back pain. Fluid somatic movements are used to train the softness to continue into daily life.

Swimming Dragon Qigong works on strength and flexibility, especially that of the spine. We use fluid swimming motions, as well as stimulating dynamic opposition exercises that twist, stretch, and strengthen the spine, muscles, ligaments, and internal organs. It ends with a flowing moving meditation to gather and circulate Chi.

This is an introductory class for those new to or curious about QIgong: the art of mindful movement and self-healing. This is a gentle practice that is mainly done standing, although those who need can practice from a chair.
