Qigong is an ancient practice with roots in Taoism, which seeks to find harmony and balance through nature. Qigong philosophy is reflected in ancient Chinese medicine. It enhances health and well-being though the practice of slow continuous movements, or forms, and controlled breathing. Qigong practice improves strength, flexibility, and balance and can help reduce stress. Qigong forms can flow one into another or stand alone to be practiced through repetition. The structure of a Qigong class is similar to that of a yoga class in that one class does not necessarily build on the previous class, as is the case with Tai Chi. Tai Chi is a form of Qigong; however Tai Chi requires memorizing a pre-determined sequence of forms, whereas Qigong does not.

Clarissa characterizes the concept of “grounding” as the utilization of various relaxation and mindfulness techniques for drawing consciousness back to the present moment and getting out of our heads by bringing attention back to the body, thus allowing the discharge of excess energy as the nervous system is calmed. With promising outcomes from preliminary research, Gong and other sound/vibrational techniques have been shown to offer measurable health benefits by aiding in alleviating symptoms of anxiety and stress, promoting more restful sleep, support in lowering blood pressure, and pain relief.
Expect to sit or lie in relaxation while the deep, earthy tones of the Chao gong wash over you. For stressed and overly-active minds, the tones from the gong give the mind something to anchor to as you learn to release into deeper states of relaxation.
Participants will be offered the option to have a grounding stone placed at their feet to further enhance and support the process.
Attendees are welcome and encouraged to bring their own yoga mat, pillows, blankets, or bolsters to pad your nest and support their comfort. The studio does have communal mats, blankets and bolsters available for public use at no additional cost.
Tea and infused water will be available for attendees after the session. All participants are invited to stay afterward to spend time in community and/or to shop at Energetic Alchemy for select tumbled stones, hand-crafted incense, bath salts, and sun catchers.
Supplies are extremely limited.

MONTHLY RESTORATIVE RESPITE with Clarissa
Sunday, June 5, 2022, 4pm-5:30pm
On Zoom and In-Studio

Class is facilitated by Clarissa Boggess, E-RYT200/RYT500, YACEP. Join us for this practice of stillness and release. Through the slow, simple movements of Somatic Yoga, our class begins by softening muscles and connective tissues that contribute to pain and tension. We then move into the Restorative Yoga experience where we will explore 4-5 yoga poses, completely supported by props. These poses are passive rather than active, meaning that the muscles are in a state of near complete relaxation allowing the mind to soften and surrender. Poses are held for 5-10 minutes each depending on the posture. Our class finishes in deep relaxation with a fusion of guided meditation, mindfulness, and yoga nidra.
Class is $15. Community Share Jar passes can be used for this class!!
