Jonathan is offering a four-week qigong class at ToCA in October — if you’ve ever wanted to know how you can use movement and breath practices at home to support and complement your acupuncture treatment, this class is for you!

Learn how qigong (“skillful working with qi”) works, how it activates the connection (or identity) between body and mind, and a range of simple but profound practices you can do on your own or with friends.

The class runs 9:30-11, Friday mornings from Oct 10 to 31. Participate in person at ToCA, or online via Zoom. Recordings of the Zoom class will be available for a week after if you’re able to make that time.

$25/class or $80 for the full session. Contact us by DM or email to register or if you have questions!

Spring Qigong at ToCA!
(or via Zoom - live or recording)

Join Jonathan on Friday mornings, 10:00-11:15am, for a qigong movement class. The class runs for 8 sessions, March 21 to May 9.

We’ll learn the Ba Duan Jin (“Eight-Set Silk Brocade”), a well-known classic qigong form to open the joints, stretch the sinews, and circulate qi throughout the body’s channel.

Along with this, we’ll be exploring the channel system through movement and self-massage, and supplementing this yang activities with some Zhan Zhuang (“standing post”) or standing meditation.

Each session will build on the last, but you’re welcome to attend as many or as few as you like. Classes are pay what you can, suggested $20/class.

Hope to see you there!

Qigong - lit. working with or skill with qi - refers to exercises that use gentle movement and breathwork to balance the body physically, energetically, and mentally/spiritually. Under different names (Dao yin - “guiding and stretching”; Nei gong - “inner work”; and many others), these exercises have been part of Chinese Medicine from early times.

You can do qigong in a class setting — Jonathan will be offering a Friday class at ToCA (with an online option) starting in late March — or on your own. Particular exercises can be prescribed to help support your acupuncture treatments and overall healing goals.

Stay tuned for class announcements; or book an online consultation today to get an individualized routine to practice on your own.
