Introduction to Tai Chi & Qigong
These classes focus on the basic principles and patterns of Tai Chi and Qigong – to build strength, balance, and agility, while nurturing serenity and joy. Rooted in ancient Chinese wellness practices these moving meditations integrate body, mind and breath through action and stillness. The movement patterns, or forms, are short and don’t require much space. The rhythmic repetition of each form allows you to relax, explore and refine each movement, to find your center, natural flow and ease. The poetic imagery of Qigong encourages a playful mindfulness and creativity.
Learn to listen to your body, relieve stress, and replenish your energy. Make Qigong a part of your self-care journey to find clarity, resilience and solace amidst the ups & downs, twists & turns that life brings your way.
Online classes allow you to practice within the comfort, safety and convenience of your home and to take the classes with you when you travel!. The daily class schedule is designed to encourage regular practice. The reward of consistent practice is vibrant health and depth of understanding. The daily classes also allow you the flexibility to make your own schedule, adjusting your practice to the needs of each day.
"It is so wonderful to have these classes available every day. It has given me stability and something to look forward to. I feel better both mentally and physically."
"The live Zoom classes keep me motivated and get me started in the morning. It is so much easier than going to an in-person class."
"Learning Qigong has been such a positive experience both physically and emotionally. Gurney’s kind words and support have helped me feel calm and confident."
"What a joy it is each time I join the class; it just gets better and better. How fortunate I am at this stage in my life to have Gurney guiding my “old bones” to age gracefully with greater understanding, strength, and balance."

"What I love about the daily classes is that there is continuity within the week (and beyond), but each day/week is different. Part of the motivation to keep returning is, “What has Gurney got planned for this week?!” Different weeks emphasize different movement patterns, so over the course of several weeks and months I use many muscles/parts of my body that I wouldn't even know existed."
"No prior knowledge of the routines is required. You are at liberty to go at your own pace or to simply take a break. Gurney demonstrates while keeping a steady commentary going to explain the exercises and their benefits. After an hour you leave feeling rejuvenated and relaxed. All pluses."
