What is Qi Gong?

“Qigong (pronounced "chee-gung") is an accessible practice that anyone can learn and benefit from even with casual practice. There are numerous qigong styles, schools, traditions, forms and lineages that have distinct approaches and philosophies, but all are based upon Qi (“subtle breath” or “vital energy”) and Gong (“skill cultivated through regular practice”). While qigong offers various paths to engage with qi, consistent practice and commitment are essential to truly learn. Qigong works as a comprehensive system that teaches individuals methods to preserve their vital energy, cultivate it through specific practices, and then consciously lead and direct this energy within the body to maintain health, balance, and vitality.

Firstly, qigong promotes a balanced lifestyle to avoid energy depletion. Lifestyle choices that help preserve qi, such as adequate rest, balanced nutrition, moderate physical activities, and stress management are emphasized. Secondly, through tailored practices involving gentle movements, controlled breathwork, and focused intention, the individual cultivates and enhances their qi, refining its flow and enhancing its potency within the body's energy pathways. Finally, qigong teaches practitioners to consciously direct and guide qi within the body. By focusing their intention and using specific movements and breathing techniques, individuals learn to lead qi to areas that may need healing, balance, or revitalization.” - National QiGong Association website

What to expect in a QiGong Class?

While practicing QiGong with Chrissy and AFA, you can expect her to lead you into simple qigong flows that help regulate the body, mind, and spirit through movement. The flows are never too strenuous and can be modified according to your personal needs. This is a go at your own pace kind of class and Chrissy takes it as such. It is meant to calm and ground you to help your health.

What are my options for doing QiGong with AFA?

This is for a series of 4 one hour sessions once a week. You will have a follow-up email with the dates and times I have selected with a *payment link, consent and intake forms, and Zoom call link. You will receive a link weekly for the weeks we work together.

*Please note that all payments must be made before the date and time of the call or you will not be receiving services from Chrissy
