Qi Gong

It is cold and flu season. I  have done this every morning and have not gotten sick yet!


If you enjoyed our Tai Chi/ Qigong session you can do this routine whenever you have 5 minutes.

It is designed to open the lungs and relieve any muscular tightness around the lymph nodes of your immune system. Care for both and you will soon find getting sick will be a thing of  the past.


Remember to always bring your Qi into your Dan tien  and focus on the  breath.
