Qi Energy Workshop: 8 Animals Bagua Qigong
Saturday, April 25th, 9:30 AM - Noon
Instructor: Mark Gallagher, Qigong Master

Discover the power of your own Qi—the vital energy that flows through all living things. This beginner-friendly workshop introduces the intuitive and healing practice of 8 Animals Bagua Qigong, where slow, mindful movements mirror animal expressions to awaken energetic awareness.

Participants will focus on feeling the energy within each movement while learning how these expressions connect to the body’s meridian system. Through guided practice and discussion, you’ll explore how energy flows, where it may be blocked, and how to gently restore balance.

Corresponding Bagua Trigrams

Qigong, meaning “energy practice,” uses gentle movement, breath, and posture to improve energy flow, release blockages, and cultivate vitality. This session is designed to be light, slow-paced, and accessible, with breaks included.
