Weekly Wednesday Qigong [online class]

HOW MUCH DOES THIS COST?

This Weekly Wednesday Qigong class is offered FREE of charge, but you need to register with "Rotten Wood Can Be Carved QIGONG" on the Hey Marvelous platform to be able to access the Zoom session. (Registration is free, but it takes a couple of minutes to do when you do it for the first time.)

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).
