Qigong and
Meditation
Qigong is moving meditation.
The benefits of Qigong include
physical, mental and emotional
well-being. Qigong reduces
stress, strengthens the immune
system, creates flexibility,
speeds healing from injury,
promotes restful sleep,
relieves anxiety and depression, and much more. Caryn
will guide you through simple warm-ups and Qigong
forms, ending with a short sitting meditation. Wear
comfortable clothing. Instructor Caryn Boyd Diel has
been teaching internationally for over 30 years.
No experience is necessary. Pre-registration required.
