CLASSES
Dates: See above Zoom class on Wednesdays
Cost:
Qigong and Feldenkrais
Dates TBA
Guided by Brenda Sorkin, GCFP
Brenda@MovementDialogues.com or 704.650.7252
In 2002 I was certified by Chan Zhang to teach what I consider a more feminine qigong form called Dance of the Phoenix. I was interested in studying with a woman because all of my previous qigong forms had been developed by men.
This form has 5 sets of movements aimed at harmonizing energy, massaging your organs, centering your chakras and auras and breaking up negativity. The figure eight, a symbol of infinity, is prominently used in the movements.
You will receive written notes for each set at the end of class to help you with your practice so that you will have the full set by the end of the series. We will enhance the series by drawing from Feldenkrais and Bones for Life for our warm up, increasing the potential of the qigong sets.
Classes are small and can last from 1 to 1 ½ hours. A class can be started with 8 of your friends and consensus on day and time.

"Because touch, more than any other sense, has such ready access to young babies brains, it offers perhaps the best possible opportunity, and one of the easiest, for molding their emotional and mental well-being.” -Lise Eliot, Ph.D. from What's Going On In There
