Qi Community

I taught my first Zoom Qigong class the same month COVID drove us all into isolation. Online Qigong felt like a good antidote to the loneliness of that scary, disorienting time. I had no idea how long I’d continue teaching on Zoom. It was a new technology to me; one I wasn’t sure I trusted. Four years later, our classes have taken root and continue to thrive. Whether you’re a regular Zoom class “Qi-ster” or subscribe to my YouTube channel (new members every day) I thank you for contributing your curiosity and good energy.

From the beginning I intended these classes to be a true collaboration between you and me. Between the rich, complex world of TCM and my own diverse background in movement art and science, well, there’s a lot of material. That’s why I truly welcome comments and questions. I’m still a student of Qigong and learn so much from your response to the material. Just yesterday Jane M spurred me to review the acupressure points for laryngitis. (There are lots, depending on the cause.) A student who took the “Qigong for Gardeners” workshops in Sharon CT last Saturday reported that in one class she learned how to relax her chest enough to dramatically improve her breathing difficulties. Barbara P. enjoys and wants to do more “Animal Frolics”; Jim B. takes the “Shibashi 18” on the road with him when he travels.
