QI GONG COURSE COMING TO WALPOLE

 

     Qi gong is an ancient Chinese pattern of slow movements that can calm the mind, energize and heal the body, build stamina, improve one's sense of balance, increase flexibility of joints, and enhance the immune system.  Western medical studies also are showing that qi gong can improve the workings of the cardiovascular, respiratory, circulatory, lymphatic, and digestive systems.  Equally important, persons of any level of ability or with physical limitations can take part.

 

     You're invited to try qi gong at an introductory session that will be held Sunday, February 28, from 1 to 3:30 pm in the meeting room at the Walpole fire station.  The course will be taught by Bonnie Bloom, who has studied qi gong for 13 years in the U.S. and China.  The cost is $40 and includes printed materials and an audio practice CD to take home.

 

     For those who want to continue beyond the introduction, Bonnie will offer a ten-week course that will meet in Walpole on Thursdays from 6:15 to 7:30 pm.  The location hasn't yet been finalized.
