Chi) is characterized by natural, upright, and relaxed postures, easily<br />
flowing from one to another. Evidence-based research bears out<br />
Taiji’s effectiveness in dealing with hypertension, fibromyalgia,<br />
diabetes, stress, balance and postural issues, nervous system<br />
disorders, and Parkinson’s disease (just to name a few!). Clothing<br />
should be loose and comfortable. Bring a pair of soft-sole, clean<br />
shoes. Register By January 29/February 26/March 25/April 22<br />

LOVE YOUR HEART QIGONG/CHINESE YOGA<br />
This is a healing movement form designed to create a healing<br />
environment for the heart and circulatory system. The easy to learn<br />
movements can be done sitting or standing and is therefore<br />
appropriate for most people. Because this is a moving form, those<br />
with severe heart issues should check with their doctors before<br />
taking this class. Included in this class is an explanation of the “The<br />
Five Element System”, The Meridian System and how Traditional<br />
Chinese Medicine (TCM) uses Qigong/Chinese Yoga not just for<br />
healing, but also to prevent heart issues. Traditional Chinese<br />
Medicine is the oldest holistic medical system in the world and is<br />
still in use after thousands of years! Register By February 1<br />
