Community Ed office
October 5, 7, 12, 14, 19, 21
12:00- 1:00 pm - Cost $30 for 5 sessions- Please come when you can!
Learn about the five energy healing systems of qigong as guided by DeeAnn Gieseke. As a form of
gentle exercise, qigong is composed of movements that are typically repeated, strengthening and
stretching the body, increasing fluid movement (blood, synovial, and lymph), enhancing balance
and improving the awareness of how the body moves. Qigong can be described as a mind-body-
spirit practice that improves one’s mental and physical health by integrating posture, movement,
breathing technique, self-massage, sound, and focused intent. Qigong increases the supply and
flow of energy throughout the body, can have a variety of rejuvenating effects and is believed to
increase longevity, and it induces calm mental and emotional states.

neighborhood.

ments are not responsible for any damage to them when we are maintaining and using a hydrant.
