• Description: Qigong is an ancient Chinese medical practice for stimulating and balancing the Qi (Life Force) that flows throughout our bodies.  This workshop will present the guiding principles of Qigong practice combining the use of movement, breath, and relaxation for healing.  Participants will be given a taste of Qigong practice as well as experience a variety of Qigong movements that can be incorporated into their daily lives.

Qigong stimulates the flow and balance of energy in your body, increasing your sense of well being and decreasing your level of stress, tension, and fatigue.  In China, Walking Qigong is used extensively as a complementary treatment for cancer, heart disease, high blood pressure, arthritis, respiratory problems, immune dysfunction and other illnesses.

New students are encouraged to arrive at the gazebo at Green Spring Gardens Park in Annandale, VA fifteen minutes before class for a short period of instruction with Paul Rischard, one of the few teachers in America trained and granted authority to teach this form.  Class lasts a little less than an hour.  There is never a charge.  If it is raining enough that you need to use your windshield wipers on more than “intermittent,”  the class is canceled.
