Qigong & Tai Chi for Men: Energize, Balance, Calm and Connection

-

at YOGA SOUP (28 PARKER WAY SANTA BARBARA, California 93101)

This beginner therapeutic class is gentle and active with a steady pace.

In this class, we blend the flowing, freeform art of Qigong with the structured elegance of Tai Chi to release stagnant energy, restore balance, and invite in healing, calming energy for deep sleep.

So bring a mug!

Music is played during this class.
