The Healer Within

The most essential medicine for body, mind, and spirit is already within us and is free. Some call it The elixir of life; others simply call it chi, ki, or prana. To most of us it is simply the life force energy we all possess. Yet it often remains as the untapped healer within. This class will utilize methods and techniques derived from the ancient wellness arts of Chi Gong, Tai Chi Chaun, and Yoga. We will combine gentle movement with meditative postures to draw upon the healer within.
