Saturday August 6, 2022
11:00 AM

In this class you will:

• explore healthy breathing and how to make it an ally in every situation
• practice some simple yet powerful Qigong moves
• release stuck energy and tension through the power of mindful awareness
• end with a guided meditation that will clear your mind, open your heart, and free your body.

These moves are simple, gentle, and can even be done seated. Our time will be divided equally between movement and rest.

Studies show that people thrive when they can practice savoring, or bringing embodied mindful sensing to present moment experiences. Breathing well and moving with ease are ways to savor your life. 11am-12:15pm.

Taught by mindful movement expert Amy Ward Brimmer of Way Opens Wellness, , 1 S. Main St, Yardley, PA, 19067
