Join certified Qigong teacher Dr. Kat Brady, LAc. for an hour of Qigong drawing upon the rich lineage of Liu family as taught by the Ling Gui International Healing Qigong School.

We will also explore Chinese medical and Daoist concepts, such as Yin & Yang and the Five Elements, and how these principals can help us find greater harmony in our lives. Our guiding principals will be to move with ease and to listen to curiosity to the messages from our bodies, minds, and spirits
