Online Movement Classes

The following classes are online Zoom classes only, taught by Nancy Saum, retired RN.

Qigong

This practice may be described as moving meditation, with coordinated slow flowing movement, deep rhythmic breathing, and a focused meditative state of mind. Qigong is now practiced throughout China and worldwide for recreation, exercise, relaxation, disease prevention, self­-healing, meditation and self ­cultivation.  No prior Qigong experience required. 

Class Time:  1st & 3rd Wednesdays, 10-11am EST  

​

Tai Chi Easy™

Tai Chi Easy™ is a blend of simple medical Qigong techniques with carefully chosen Tai Chi exercises that are accessible to anyone, from the very fit to those confined to wheelchairs or recovering from surgery.    As you move, you breathe deeply and naturally, focusing your attention — just as you do in mindfulness meditation — on breath and bodily sensations.  If you are new to the practice of Tai Chi, it is recommended that you begin with the Qigong class. 

​

Class Time:  2nd & 4th Wednesdays, 10-11am EST
