The Essence of Qi Gong Flows Through ±¬ÁÏÍøClass
Story by James Hill
HILLSBORO – The form is easy to learn and practice, combining many styles into one, and ±¬ÁÏÍø will offer a class to help students find their part of the Qi Gong flow. In the non-credit class Essence Qi Gong, students will learn that the mind becomes quiet following the flow of Qi, a form of standing meditation from China. It cultivates relaxation and awareness of sensation through body twists and concentration, and students will be given a step-by-step handout with instructions of movement. Instructor Holly Ann Alswel is certified in this interesting art of relaxation and a licensed acupuncturist and massage therapist as well as a co-author of a book on Qi Gong.The fee for Essence of Qi Gong is $30. The class will run every Monday from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m., starting Monday, Sept. 25 and ending Nov. 27. The course will be offered at the Hillsboro Grange, located at 245 S.E. 3rd Ave. For more information about this class, contact ±¬ÁÏÍøCommunity Education at 503-533-2919.
