Qigong & Walking Meditation

Qigong & Walking Meditation at the NC Arboretum

Fridays 9am – 10am / April 5th – May 10th 💠 Registration Not Yet Open

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 spring flowers, budding trees, and bird song as spring unfolds in the Plants of Promise Garden.
