Nate Guadagni is leading a 4-Week Qigong Workshop Series
Thursdays from 7:00-8:30pm (on February 22, 29, March 7, 14).

Qigong (pronounced Chee – Gong) is an ancient healing art similar to Tai Chi that has been practiced for thousands of years for health and longevity.
Combining powerful stances with graceful movements, qigong classes can help you develop better balance and cultivate energy and vitality. Studies show that qigong can help reduce anxiety and depression as well as boost your immune system and improve sleep.

In this 4 class series you will experience all the basics of Qigong and learn a Five Element Qigong Form.

See the EPY website for more info. Should be fantastic!

A lot of feelings and emotions come to the surface that we often try to suppress,....
