Qigong (also spelled Chi kung) comes from the Chinese words "Qi" (usually translated as "life force" or "vital energy") and "Gong" (usually translated as "cultivation" or "skill").

Doctors in China have taught medical Qigong exercises based on the energetic meridian system of the body to their patients for centuries to enable them to accelerate and deepen their own healing.

By using gentle movements, breathing techniques, and mental concentration, one can generate, circulate, strengthen, and cleanse the life force (Qi) within oneself.  The practice of Qigong can lead to greater vitality and health, as well as a more peaceful state of mind.

Our instructor, Mark Montgomery,  has studied with Qigong masters in the U.S and in mainland China since 1979.

In this spirit of passing on precious healing gifts, learned from esteemed teachers, we offer our Qigong classes to the Bend community in the hope that these powerful exercises, based in ancient wisdom, will help you to reclaim (or maintain) the harmony, health and tranquility that are our birthright.

Our QiGong classes are on Wednesday mornings  from 8-9 and Friday afternoons from 3-4PM. All student levels welcome.
