Yoga with Julie Classes every Saturday and Sunday at 10 a.m. Noticing how well I felt after taking one yoga class, I was hooked. That was almost 15 years ago. Yoga has become one of my passions. I have studied several different styles of yoga with a variety of instructors. I love the philosophy of yoga and have been enjoying teaching for about 6 years. During each session we will work all the major muscle groups but before we start I like to ask input from the class participants. If there is anyone who has a particular stiff area of certain request, we can focus on those as well. This allows for each session to be customized, individual, and different from the last. Once per month I will have a 1 & 1/2 hour class, just for fun. (same price, date posted monthly at The Zen Room) |

Qigong with Muhammed Classes every Saturday at 8 a.m. at the Riverfront Park. Qigong The Zen room will start to offer Chi Kung (Qigong) Workshops. Chi kung (Qigong) is a series of ancient Chinese meditative and internal energy exercises that helps the practitioner increased physical energy, release tension, improved health and gain the ability to heal oneself and others. The word Qigong is made up of two Chinese words. Qi is usually translated to mean the life force that flows through all things in the universe and gong means a skill that is cultivated through steady practice. Together, Qigong means cultivating energy. Qigong is one of the most powerful prescription a TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) doctor can use because it works directly on the body's healing energy system. Today in China, more than 100 million people practice is this self-healing energy system daily. In hospitals and clinics across China, Qigong is routinely prescribed to treat arthritis, asthma, bowel problems, diabetes, migraines, hypertension, rheumatism, neuralgia, stress, ulcers, and many other conditions. Qigong has also been used to successfully treat cancer and reduce or even eliminated the debilitating side effects of radiation and chemotherapy. The gentle rhythmic movements of Qigong has been found to improve cardiovascular, respiratory, circulatory, lymphatic and digestive functions. Those who maintain a constant practice of Qigong find that it helps one regain a youthful vitality, maintain health even into old age and speeds recovery from illness. Qigong's great appeal is that everyone can benefit, regardless of ability, age, belief system or life circumstances.
