The 18 Luohan Qigong
Tuesdays at 9 AM beginning March 25
In studio and online
Instructors: Bill Buckley & Rebecca Gould
The 18 Luohan Qigong is a beautiful and fun set of 18 movements that provides a full body stretch, stimulates the body’s Qi, and develops balance and basic martial skill. All Qigong practices are focused on learning to feel your Qi, build up the level of Qi in your body, and eventually lead the Qi around, inside and outside your body. The 18 Luohan is a particularly powerful Qigong form for developing mind-body awareness, physical energy, flexibility, and strength. Qi, pronounced "chee" is the Chinese word for vital life energy.
We'll be teaching the 18 movements step by step, but you don't need to attend in sequence or attend every class. Come whenever your schedule allows; class cards and monthly memberships apply.
Praise for The Joy of Movement with Deb Schuler
We're delighted to receive these unsolicited testimonials from attendees of Deb's Friday noon Joy of Movement class:
When was the last time someone told me “I will give you space and tools and music for an hour for you to do whatever you want”? Exploring this opportunity to be free for one hour a week has been both a challenge and an opportunity to do something I’ve rarely done before – just be. During this class I can do whatever I want for one hour. No one is watching me or telling what my next move is supposed to be. It is actually really challenging for me because it’s so unusual that I give myself free time and space. Sometimes I sit or lie on the mat and do nothing while listening to the music and feeling myself breathe; other times I move about the room doing my awkward dance knowing that no one is watching me as I swirl silk scarves in graceful patterns. So as I’ve become more comfortable with the freedom and openness to do whatever I want I realize what I gift you’ve given me (I’ve given myself)."
"I’ve always found joy in dance — or simply movement to good music. I’ve found this in Deb’s Joy of Movement class at Gateway. I appreciate that there are no rules or steps to follow. I just move the way I want to Deb’s monthly curated song list. It’s a beautiful space in which to dance/move with others. Right in the middle of the day is a great time to experience this gift. I always feel better after than when I arrive."
"Joy of Movement is a great free-flowing and soul enriching experience! I thoroughly enjoy it and can’t wait for my next session!!"
"It’s such a free and energizing hour for me. I’m able to move without a care and feel completely renewed after a time of movement of my own choosing. The music and the space are conducive to lots of fun, introspection and enjoyment."
