DFCI Zakim Center
Qigong, Tai Chi & Meditation to Improve Leg Strength and Flexibility (45 min)
27 Oct, 2021
In this 45 minute class we will build leg strength and flexibility, cleanse and nourish your physical and energetic bodies, and practice the important Tai Chi principle of experiencing your mass or weight on one leg or on both, like sand in an hour glass. We also practice internal and external Tai Chi and Chi Kung principles like deep breathing, visualizing the lower energy center, evoking the spirit, massaging the internal organs and joints through gentle movements to help ease arthritis pain, reduce inflammation and boost the energetic system.
Learn and practice:
• The Heron (Quad stretch)
• Duck Walk
• One Leg Up (Hamstring stretch)
• Cloud Legs and a few other things
