Weekly Qigong Classes @Good Dog Cafe!

Discover the art and practice of qigong at weekly group classes held at Good Dog Cafe. Sessions take place outdoors with feet in the grass under a broad shade tree, with an indoor option if it is too cold. If it is raining, class is canceled and resumed the following week. The venue offers a beautiful outdoor setting and a dog friendly atmosphere, yet participants are asked to leave dogs at home during class to support a calm and focused experience. This one hour practice is a moving meditation that blends mindful movement, breathwork, and presence to calm the nervous system, restore energy, and awaken inner vitality. Warm ups, stretches, and flowing meditative movements are included, and the standing practice can be adapted for a seated option based on individual comfort and needs. A first class is free, with drop in and class pass options available.
