Qigong (pronounced “chee gung”) is an ancient Chinese method of improving health and enhancing vitality. In this class we will use a variety of gentle exercises to gather, store, cleanse, strengthen and circulate vital energy (Qi). Gentle stretches and strength building movements are part of this practice. Release stress and increase energy as you coordinate breath with movement and intention.

This class meets once a week for 6 weeks. (New session starts Sept. 12.)

Tuition: $65

August 2025 session is $55

Join us for a classical Yoga-Ashram style retreat designed to help you re-discover the sacred silence within, and to connect profoundly with your authentic Self. Bring bedding to stay overnight at Yoga Central, or commute from home. Our silent retreats focus on the wisdom teachings of Yoga, and Yogic practices to help you both experience and sustain inner connection and awareness. This retreat is offered on a donation-only basis, and is open to all seekers of all traditions.

Swami Sankarananda is a monk of the Sivananda order, a teacher of Yoga, and a pilgrim for peace. He walked a pilgrimage for 2.5 years, including coast to coast in 2014. He shares an ancient knowledge of Yoga, and how to lift ourselves from fear to achieve our fullest potential.
