Tai Chi | Qigong

Learn and practice the ancient Chinese exercise forms of Tai Chi and Qigong with Gail at The Bay.
Tai Chi and Qigong are often referred to as “moving meditation” as they allow each individual to detach from the stress of daily life. These forms are also referred to as “moving medication” as they benefit the entire body and mind.
