Qigong

 

Qigong is a traditional Chinese practice aimed at cultivating vital energy and overall well-being. 

The term "qi" or "chi" refers to the life force or vital energy that is believed to flow through the body. "Gong" means cultivation or skill.

Mai Sato's Qigong workshop was a revelation for someone like me who had never ventured into this realm before. With Mai's guidance, I found myself immersed in a world of profound tranquility and skillful instruction. The class was not just about sequences of movements; it was an invitation to connect deeply with myself and the environment around me. As I synchronized my breath with the gentle yet powerful movements of Qigong, I experienced a sense of peace and unity that filled me with energy. By the end of the session, I felt lighter, more positive, and grounded, as if I had tapped into something within myself and the world that is always there but mostly unseen. Mai's workshop was truly eye-opening and left me craving for more.
