Gentle Movement Class for Opening the Heart
Deborah Stevenson offers a refreshing, six-week series, featuring simple movements and guided meditations for balance and renewal. This Sheng Zhen Qigong course is suitable for beginners who have an interest in meditation but "can't sit still." Qigong means “energy in motion” and its purpose is to open and purify the heart. Sitting, standing, and lying down meditations will be introduced. This class is perfect for seniors. Non-yogis are welcome; the form is easy to learn.
Sheng Zhen promotes relaxation and stimulates circulation through the flow of chi, or life force energy. It is also good for the emotions, leading to a more balanced life. Becoming a happier person leads to a desire to care for others and the natural environment. By practicing these slow movements, one can feel the power of love and return to the natural state.
The six-week course runs Thursdays, 9:00 – 10:30 am, Feb. 1 – March 8, 2018, at Carson City Yoga, 7th St. Location: 116 E 7th St., #4. Cost: $55 for six weeks. Space is limited; no drop-ins. Please register by Jan. 25: www.carsoncityyoga.com
