QIGONG
Qigong is a traditional mind-body practice combining gentle, intentional movement with breath, posture, and focused awareness. Movements are generally slow and accessible, offering an opportunity to cultivate balance, coordination, presence, and a felt sense of energy in the body. No prior Qigong or yoga experience is needed, and practices can be adapted to individual needs.
What can you expect from a Qigong class with Noel?
The most common comment is “I wasn’t expecting it be like that…and that is a good thing!” Years of teaching and study have enabled Noel to present his unique brand of Qigong in a way that is accessible, practical, and fun. You’ll learn a lot and have a great time. If you’ve ever been interested in trying Qigong or you have been studying for years, you will enjoy learning with Noel. Come try it out.
What Makes It Unique:
Qigong offers an energy-based mindful movement practice that is not yoga and generally does not require getting up and down from a mat. Its repetitive, intentional standing movements make it accessible while still offering depth and continued exploration.

Beginners; people curious about energy practices; students wanting gentle standing movement; those who find yoga postures or floor work less appealing; experienced practitioners interested in another contemplative movement tradition.
