Qigong means “life force energy skill or practice”. It is an ancient wellness modality based in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). It consists of slow gentle meditative movements, holding postures, breathwork, and visualizations for activating and unifying the mind, body, and spirit into one balanced energetic being full of vital life force Qi.

Bright Spirit Qigong classes follow the YOQI® Method of the Six Phases of Qi Flow (attune, purge, tonify, grow, circulate and integrate) within the framework of the Five Elements Theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Generally classes begin with an inner tuning in and then we move into Qigong Flow warm ups, followed by slow moving meditations and finally finishing up with integrating the Qi in the Lower Dantian. This balancing and harmonizing practice aligns your Qi energy with the unlimited energy of the seasons, the Earth, and the Cosmos.
There are no memorizations of movements and no equipment required. Prior meditation or Qigong experience is not required. Bright Spirit Qigong classes will be taught in standing or sitting postures but all movements can be easily modified to sitting in a chair or laying down as needed.
Qigong is considered an exercise health practice and prior to starting, it is recommended to consult your physician to determine if Qigong is right for you. Please contact Kimberly if you have any questions about the practice.
