Qi Gong and Mindfulness Workshop with Dr. Scott Greenapple
2021-06-09 17:30 - 19:00 | Thrive Multipurpose Room
Qi Gong is a combination of movement, breath techniques, postures, and Mindfulness Meditation.

Also known as movement meditation or as Harvard has called it “Movement Medication”. Qi means “Lifeforce, vital energy, breath”. Gong means “cultivation or work”.

So, Qi Gong can be translated as “mastering your vital energy” to open the most profound medicine found within your own body.

Most if not all of the benefits of Qi Gong and movement meditations are centered around cultivating our own mind/body and spirit allowing the body to self-regulate and help strengthen our own immune response and turn on the “healer within”.

Come join Dr. Greenapple as he teaches a Medical form of Qi Gong, Wudang Eight Silken Brocades (Baduanjin), one of the oldest and most sought-after practices that he learned from Master Zhou when he traveled to the rural mountains of China for study.

This practice focuses on clearing stagnation, aiding to strengthen and enhance all the organs in the body as they follow the 12 meridians of Chinese acupuncture systems. As well, Mindfulness Meditation practice will be added to the class. Currently, in China and Russia, Qi Gong is being taught to hospitalized patients recovering from COVID 19.

Benefits of Qi Gong have been linked to some of the following:

Improves Focus and Concentration
Balances the Nervous System
Insomnia
Migraines/Headaches
Digestive Disorders
Stress/Anxiety/Depression
Chronic Pain
Arthritis
Chronic Inflammation
Strengthen Muscles
Release Muscle Tension
Cancer (symptoms of fatigue and brain fog)
Pulmonary and Breathing Issues
Balance and Coordination
Sports and Performance Enhancement

The class will be limited to 20 participants.
Cost: $25
