Mindfulness and Qigong with Dawn Aarons -  June 12, 2012

Our next meeting is Tuesday June 12, 2012 from 7pm to 9:15pm at Mount Sinai Hospital, 11th floor Classroom, 600 University Ave, Toronto.

Qigong can be translated at “work with Energy” and is the umbrella term for many Chinese practices including exercises for health, meditation practices, and martial arts training. A core component of Qigong practice is mindfulness of the body and the breath.

In this presentation, simple and easy to follow Qigong movements will be taught and Qigong approaches to energy cultivation will be introduced.

Dawn Aarons (dawnaarons.com) is an acupuncturist working in Toronto. She has been studying Tai Chi and Qigong since 1987 and vipassina meditation since 1997. Dawn enjoys teaching Qigong and leads meditation and Qigong retreats to Melaque, Mexico. melaqueretreats.com
