Qigong at RIM

Gentle Movement, Breath, and Meditation in the Chinese Tradition

Body practice is the root of spiritual practice. When we calm the body, the mind can expand without limit.

You’ll need: Comfortable, loose clothing · shoes without substantial heels · a supportive chair · about 6 feet by 4 feet of clear space for movement.

Who it’s for: Everyone. The movements are gentle and can be adapted to your body.

In this group, you’ll be invited to:

  • Learn and practice qigong movements that support balance, calm, and vitality
