Qigong Classes

Qigong (chee gong) is an ancient form of exercise that is 5,000 years old. In China, qigong is one of the secrets to living a long and healthy life. The simple movements induce a calm, meditative state that relaxes the mind, improves one’s health, and enhances the quality of life. When practiced regularly, qigong can greatly improve symptoms and the underlying cause of many disease, including heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, asthma, cancer, and many other chronic illnesses. It is also an excellent form of preventative healthcare. There are no special requirements people of all ages and backgrounds can practice qigong and enjoy the benefits.

Currently, Medicine for the People is offering two separate qigong group classes, Spring Forest Qigong and Daoist "Hunyuan" Qigong.

Private lessons are always available and strongly encourage, due to the unique opportunity it gives the student to learn the art deeper. Students whom have taken advantage of the private instruction make tremendous progress in a relatively short time period. 

All classes will be taught by Thomas Garbarino, licensed acupuncturist, Chinese herbalist, and practitioner of medical qigong.  Thomas would like to express his gratitude to his Qigong teachers - Master Chunyi Lin, Master Ou Wen Wei, Master Jihui Peng, Master Wang Feng-Ming,
