Qigong, Tai Chi, & Meditation for Lung Health

14 Jan, 2025


Ramel Rones, Tai Chi Master, demonstrates Qigong and Tai Chi techniques which can be practiced sitting, standing, or lying down.
For the health of your lungs, deep breathing is essential: not only deep breathing but breathing into different parts of the lungs. This class concentrates on static postures and dynamic movements from both the philosophies of Qigong and Tai Chi to increase lung capacity and oxygenate the entire body.

  • Spider Climbs the Wall
