Qigong [Portland]

  • Earth Space PDX 4135 Southeast Gladstone Street Portland, OR, 97202 United States (map)

hosted by Kat Brady

Join certified Qigong teacher Kat Brady for an hour of Qigong drawing upon the rich lineage of Liu family as taught by the Ling Gui International Healing Qigong School. This in-person class will primarily be a standing practice that will include Qi self-massage, Qigong shaking, Qi self-showers, breathwork, standing mediations, and Immune Boosting Qigong.

Qigong is a Chinese movement, breath, and meditation practice that helps to regulate your body's Qi, harmonize your organs, and open you up to the divine energies of the universe.

No experience required. Each class will be crafted to be accessible to beginners and long-time Qigong students alike.
