Active Mind & Body, Nature & The Outdoors   

Is the heat getting to you? Do you want to be moving your body but it’s too hot out? Come to the Clarkdale Campus of Yavapai College and engage in a class of flowing movements that are designed to not only open healing pathways in the body, but also return healing energy to the earth. Healing sounds that assist organs to find their balance will be taught as well as different meditations. The Four Sacred Elements (Earth, Air, Fire, Water) will be woven into the practice. Most people are familiar with Tai Chi, which is slowed down martial arts; but Qi Gong is a healing system designed to heal you from the inside out by focusing on movements that unlock stress and stuck energy from your organs, bones and tissues, and includes movements that participants generally find easy to recall.

Tai Chi Chih, often referred to as “joy through movement” or “moving meditation,” is a simple practice. It can bring benefits into your life, such as increased energy, improved balance, vitality, improved health among others. Regular practice promotes well-being, relaxation, and serenity in the midst of activity, while nurturing a deep sense of you and contentment in the present moment. You'll enjoy this gentle, contemplative workout with Janet Batchelder, easily one of our most popular instructors. Wear comfortable clothing and non-slip shoes.

Did you know yoga is more than doing poses? Do you want to learn the types and styles of yoga to choose the right kind for you?
