Qigong 1 & 2: Peaceful Body Peaceful Mind
with Heidi Meyer-Bothling
When body is relaxed and peaceful, energy will flow. When mind is still, it will
embrace qi and strengthen the body. One of the Chinese arts of health and
longevity, Taoist Qigong simultaneously cultivates physical health and mental
well-being.
Qigong Level 1 begins with instruction in six classic qigong forms that relax and
align the body and two postures of standing qigong that gather internal energy.
Qigong Level 2 continues with instruction in guiding energy through the body using
the Nine Self-Massage and in the Twelve Devas Tendon Changing System- the most
effective form of qigong used in repairing physical injuries and enhancing
muscular-skeletal strength.
*Due to the cost of providing this series of qigong programs in 2025, we ask you to
