Chair Yoga & Qigong - The 8 Brocades

This is a chair-based class but can be done standing!

I teach a chair version of the famous qigong practice known as The 8 Brocades.

You may have heard other titles, such as “8 Pieces of Silk” or whatnot. They refer to the same practice.

This gentle chair yoga and qigong class is a great way for people of all ages to experience mindful movement to help reduce stress and improve well-being. Whether you are a senior who doesn't want to deal with floor yoga, or you are just taking a lunchbreak at the office, chair yoga and qigong is a great way to relax while getting some easy exercise. We will also incorporate breathing exercises and some meditation to round out our sessions. You are welcome to join in for all or part of the class per your schedule. All you need is a sturdy chair, preferably without armrests, as we will be seated throughout the class.
