Qigong & Walking Meditation at the NC Arboretum
Stay tuned ❤️ This program will return for the Spring 2025 Arboretum Schedule
North Carolina Arboretum in Asheville
Qigong means the skill (gong) of regulating life energy (qi) to improve health. Qigong is the foundation of Tai Chi, a moving meditation that combines flowing postures, breath-work, and meditation in motion. Accessible to all ages and all bodies, Qigong promotes healthy circulation, reduces blood pressure, optimizes joint mobility, releases muscle tension, improves balance and coordination, boosts energy and cognition, and invites a sense of inner calm and ease. Each week our Qigong practice is followed by a slow silent walking meditation to savor the beauty and healing power of nature in the North Carolina Arboretum’s Plants of Promise Garden. Parking is free when you register for a class at the Arboretum.
