Qigong (pronounced chee gung) is a 5000 year old practice that focuses on Yang Sheng or nurturing life. This ancient Chinese health practice integrates gentle physical movement, breathing techniques, focused intention and meditation. The purpose is to attune, cleanse, tonify, grow, circulate and integrate qi (life force energy) within the body. Ultimately, these 6 phases of Qigong flows are designed to improve physical health & vitality, create a tranquil state of mind and promote a heightened self-awareness.

About the Teacher:
Diane Wiggins: E-RYT 500, Yin Yoga Specialist, Gentle Somatic Practitioner III, Reiki II, YoQi Qigong Certified Teacher.
During the mid-1990s, while a Ph.D. student of English Literature, Diane found herself in her first yoga class—she instantly fell in love. Her stressed-out nervous system and over-taxed brain found release. The tension in her body, wrecked from hours of study, melted away. As she began to practice Yoga regularly, she felt re-energized and balanced. And thus, Diane’s Yoga quest began. Everywhere she went, she sought out teachers: in person, through books and eventually on the internet. After many years with thousands of hours of personal practice and some teaching, Diane officially certified as a Yoga teacher. During her continuing journey toward healing, she has pursued many specialty trainings, especially focusing on Yin Yoga as well as Gentle Somatic Yoga. Her insatiable quest led Diane to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). She delved deeper into Yin Yoga that fused TCM principles. During this time, she discovered the gift of Qigong. Subsequently, she studied through the YoQi Qigong Flow School, recently finishing their certification program. Qigong, another healing art, especially targets the energy body. She credits this practice for transforming her life, strengthening her vitality and allowing her to live with abundant presence. And she grateful and delighted to share these practices with students. She says, “It is part of my purpose and gives me so much joy to inspire others into accessing self-healing abilities, to finding their natural rhythms and developing an inner peace through guided (and spontaneous) movement and meditation. Together we nurture and protect our vitality as we grow into radiant beings.”
