Use Qigong techniques for letting go physical and emotional stresses
Different theme each week (Zoom)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Excellent class for building on existing practice of qigong.
In our day to day lives, we experience a lot of events, conversations or life changes that leave us feeling disempowered, hopeless, or tired. This is a common experience and our qigong classes focus on accepting and if suitable, gently changing the energy around those challenging experiences using "chi".

It may not go away completely at one time, but we start to build our little muscles in 1) observing our energy (ie., feelings, body state), 2) noticing intraceptively where 'stuck' sensations are in the body; 3) how to make gentle shifts in ourselves.

I welcome participants from all walks of life, and we have a respectful and safe shared space of the qigong practice lead by Jacqueline Chan, MA & her mother, Master Teresa Yeung. Our shared intentions and practice start to make gentle shifts in our energy which bring gentle, gradual and powerful changes in our lives.

We change our relationship to those inner experiences and open the channel for a path to lasting tranquility, hope, and optimism.
