Fall Tai Chi & Qi gong at Ganondagan with Dr. Kathy Gill
Tuesdays | 11 AM - Noon
Series Dates: September 15 - December 15.
The ancient practices of Tai Chi and Qi gong combine slow, deliberate movements, meditation, and breathing exercises bringing relaxation, peace and balance to mind, body and spirit and can also send that same energy out in all directions to all beings. Join us for a series of classes that introduces people to the first several movements of a Yang-style form. Taiji quan and qigong practice is suitable for experienced players and people new to the concepts. The seasoned students may learn the complete short form; that and long form are covered in the last 15 minutes so others may leave or observe.
Instructor: Master Kathleen M. Gill, Ph.D. is a retired clinical psychologist with forty years of experience in stress management and health promotion. She was granted the title in 2014 by her Grandmaster William C. C. Chen. She tells her clients and students that the best method of relaxation is the one you practice every day - and taiji quan (Tai Chi) and qigong is that method for her.
Participants should wear comfortable clothing and shoes
