Qiqong - Fall 2020

Is learning to make your energy work for you one of your goals? If so, the practice of Qigong is just what you need. Qigong is a mind-body-spirit practice that improves one's mental and physical health by integrating posture, movement, breathing technique, tapping, sound, and focused intent. Our classes are usually fully booked so this is a rare opportunity to experience Qigong through Zoom in the safety of your own home. Our on-line Zoom classes will provide both pre-class chat time with our Master Instructor, Mario, as well as after class time to interact with fellow classmates. We will be running three classes weekly, two at Level 1 and one at Level 2, for 14 weeks. Your paid registration will afford you the opportunity to attend all three on-line classes for the price of one. For more information, go to https://www.flcseniors.ca/activities/qigong

Tai Chi - Fall 2020

The Tai Chi Committee is thrilled to finally be able to offer a safe Fall session! The major safety change is the move of our activity to the Deer Run Community Centre SE. Tai Chi students from the Winter 2020 session, as well as those on our other mailing lists, will soon receive an email notice with all the particulars. Please check our web  page at www.flcseniors.ca/activities/taichi for further information.
