Qi Gong is an ancient practice which integrates the mind, body, spirit and emotion. This movement practice utilizes deep breathing, gentle movements, energy awareness, intention and mindfulness to create a grounded and healing state. A brief overview of the basic principles of Qi Gong will be shared and how it creates the calm, healing effect for our entire being. I will lead a 45 minute Qi Gong practice which will help calm your nervous system and feel your personal power. A short question & answer period will conclude our session. This presentation is available to all ability levels, can be done standing or seated and no previous Qi Gong experience is necessary. (Weather and schedule permitting, we will do the movement practice outside.)
I teach weekly on-line Qi Gong classes through my Rochester-based business (Energy Shifts with Pennie) and for the Franciscan Spirituality Center in Lacrosse. I also teach exercise classes for the Arthritis Foundation Exercise Program which includes Qi Gong movements and meets twice a week at Bethel Lutheran Church in Rochester. I am trained in multiple physical and mental/emotion healing modalities. Individuals work with me for specific healing needs. I enjoy leading Qi Gong based workshops and retreats.
My life’s experiences and health challenges have guided me toward a variety of holistic practices. I am passionate about the practice of Qi Gong and want to share its benefits with others. Please visit my website: penniepries.com or energyshiftswithpennie.com for more information.
