Qigong is the Chinese internal art of cultivating one’s vital energy. In this class, taught by Bruno Ballestrero, we train a variety of exercises aimed at improving our overall health and wellbeing, including strengthening the immune system, “cleaning” the mind, and calming the emotions.

Specific exercises derive from the Tai Ji Qigong, Ba Duan Jin (eight piece brocade) and Hun Yuan Chen style methods. We close our classes with seated stretches to ensure a complete training regimen that includes appropriate relaxation and extension of the principal muscular chains.

Bruno Ballestrero has trained in the traditional Chinese martial arts since 1999 and taught since 2004, including several at Still and Moving Center. He currently lives in Argentina.
