Wednesday mornings from 9 - 10:25AM in the lower hall Qigong class with Curtis Nadj
Beginning May 7, 2025: Weekly Qigong Classes at JBUC
A weekly course of cultivation, theory, and—most importantly—practice in basic Qigong methods, held at James Bay United Church.
Each class will be approximately 90 minutes in length. During that time, we’ll explore five foundational practices designed to integrate body, breath, and mind:
-
Walking meditation
-
Body loosening and lengthening
-
Stretching and strengthening methods
-
Healing sounds
-
Self-massage
The course is designed to build gradually. Each week, we’ll introduce a simple element of each practice, allowing you to learn, review, and grow your practice steadily. By the end, participants will have experienced and developed a complete five-part routine to support health and wellbeing.
These classes are open to anyone—whether you’re seeking improved general health, are on a healing journey, or are looking for renewed vitality and strength in daily life. The best way to learn more? Come and try it out!
