Tampa Qigong and Daoist Meditation

If you cannot join us as we do a class in real-time and want access to a recording, there are options available for purchase (i.e., not for free) here: https://rotten-wood-can-be-carved.heymarvelous.com/shop

But, to be clear: this Weekly Wednesday Qigong class is free if you participate with us in real time as we do it.

..................

WHAT IS THIS STUFF?

Qigong is Chinese yoga and meditation. It incorporates ideas of the body, mind, health, and cosmos from Daoism, Chinese Buddhism, traditional Chinese medicine, and internal martial arts.

In this free weekly class, we begin with simple warm-up exercises and then do various moving qigong forms to stretch and condition the body.

Here is a sample from one of the previous sessions: https://rotten-wood-can-be-carved.heymarvelous.com/product/61683/free-media/614994

You do not need a yoga mat or a meditation cushion for this class: the practices can be done while standing (or, sometimes, walking around) in the space of your living room.

Feel free to have your camera on or off--whichever way makes you feel most comfortable.

This class is appropriate for beginners and for people with more experience in qigong and related practices. Practices can be modified to accommodate many different abilities and ranges of movement.

This class meets on Zoom on Wednesday evenings 6:30 to 7:15 PM Eastern Time.

This class is led by Steve Geisz, Ph.D. (that's me). I am a graduate of the multi-year qigong-teacher-training program of Ken Cohen, a Certified Full Instructor in the Universal Tao/Healing Tao qigong system of Mantak Chia, and a 500-hour registered yoga teacher (RYT 500).

This event is FREE. (If you want to express gratitude for the teachings, please consider signing up for the online classes I offer through RottenWoodQigong.com.)

The plan is to meet beneath the biggest oak tree in the park (which is next to the green-roofed, octagon-shaped pavilion/pagoda structure). If there are other people there using that space, we will find another place in the park to practice--just look for me. (I'll be wearing a baseball cap with a smiley face on it.)

Please try to arrive a few minutes early to sign the special waiver form for this event.

Please note we will be outside. (If the weather looks bad, please check here for info on whether or not it is cancelled.)

Please also note that there are no restrooms at Rivercrest Park.
