Qigong - To Boost your Immune System

This class, which will teach Dr. Kaneko's healing paradigm and powerful healing modalities, will enhance your life force to help protect you from viruses and illness. Join us to learn about our safe, natural and effective ways to survive and prosper under the new normal.

Two Qigong styles will be taught:

Baduanjin with 8 silk movements that stretch the extremities, spine, and meridians, and Tree Qigong stances, which are gentle but transformational with vigorous abdominal breathing.

In addition, we'll practice, Daoyin, which is a form of exercise to generate the chi energy and blood flow to vital organs. Daoyin stimulates the vital points and meridians in order to clean the stagnation of the various systems, vitalize the tissues and improve the circulation on a cellular level. 15 Daoyin movements that utilize the pressure points and abdominal breath will be taught.

Handouts will be applied, and additional teaching material is available upon request. Dr. Kaneko also incorporates a focus on building a strong faith in the body's own healing process. To learn more about him visit online.

Bring yoga mat, or something comfortable to sit or lie on, and wear clothing for exercise.
