Title: Gentle Movement for Opening the Heart
Subtitle: Tuesdays, 9:30 – 11:00 am, March 21 – May 2, 2017, at 611 E. Telegraph St., Carson City
Description:
Deborah Stevenson offers a refreshing, new class, featuring simple movements (qigong) and guided meditations just in time for spring. This 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 may also be included. This class is perfect for seniors. Non-yogis are welcome; the form is easy to learn.
Qigong 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 Tuesdays, 9:30 – 11:00 am, March 21 – May 2, 2017, at 611 E. Telegraph St., Carson City. There will be no class April 4. Cost: $50 for six weeks.
