Workshop | Qigong Yoga for Beginners
Instructor Siewli Stark leads a 1-hour session of beginner yoga. Please bring your own yoga mat for this class. This session will explore Qigong. Qigong (pronounced chee-gong) is an ancient Chinese practice that combines gentle movement, breath awareness, and focused intention to harmonize the body, mind, and spirit. In this class, participants will slow down and tune into the natural rhythm of our bodies, learning simple standing or seated exercises to support vitality, reduce stress, and improve emotional balance. Qigong is accessible to all ages and fitness levels, and no experience is necessary. Siewli Stark is a bodyworker who specializes in using embodied practices to help others feel more connected to their bodies, health, and well-being. She believes that movement and feeling good in our bodies is a birthright and that everyone should have the opportunity to explore and enhance their relationship with their bodies through movement, breath, touch, and stillness. **All participants must bring the release form at the link filled out and signed to the class.**
