Qigong workshop
Joan Roulac, certified Qigong teacher since 1987, will be providing another workshop by Zoom using the ancient practice of Qigong. This workshop will target three key areas: strengthening heart function, increasing joint mobility, and relieving arthritis pain.
Learn a few gentle Qigong movements that open your body’s energy channels, raise your vibration, and build better balance. The movements are simple and easy to do. Participants can practice these simple movements while seated, standing, or laying down.
A woman who attended Roulac’s T’ai Chi Chih workshop in March reported that the movements helped her build up strength for hip replacement surgery. She continues to use this practice throughout the day to ease physical pain and for restful sleep.
Join this Qigong workshop on Tuesday, June 22, 1:30-2:30 p.m. by Zoom. For more information and to register, contact Joan at joan@mountaintopmusings.com or call 360-298-2789. Workshop fee: $35.
