Introduction to Tai Chi & Qigong

Introducing the basic principles and patterns of Tai Chi and Qigong – to build strength, balance, and agility, while nurturing serenity and joy. Online classes allow you to practice Tai Chi and Qigong within the comfort, safety and convenience of your home. These online classes focus on Qigong – a moving meditation that integrates mind, body, and breath through action and stillness. Qigong is particularly well-suited to online learning as the movement patterns are short and require less memorization than traditional Tai Chi. This facilitates attending classes on a flexible schedule. Qigong also requires less space to learn and minimizes turning, which allows you to see the instructor clearly.

The varied rhythms, spatial designs, and poetic imagery of Qigong add a playful, yet profound quality to its practice. Learn to listen to your body, relieve stress, and replenish your energy. Make Qigong a part of your self-care journey to find balance and resilience amidst the many ups & downs and twists & turns that life brings your way.

"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."

Platform: Online classes are facilitated by Ompractice, a digital wellbeing platform offering a variety of wellness classes. Classes are live-streamed using Zoom, a free and user-friendly video-conferencing software that is compatible with most devices. Zoom allows you to see and hear the instructor clearly and interact with the instructor and other students to ask questions and share insights.

"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."
