Dates of classes are: April 24th, May 1st, 8th and 15th.

Qigong uses exercises to optimize energy within the body, mind, and spirit, with the goal of improving and maintaining health and well being. Participants will learn different breathing patterns to activate Qi/Chi-our life force energy. Gentle stretching, warm-ups, standing postures and the “flows” of the Five Elements (metal, water, wood, fire and earth) will circulate the Qi throughout the body. As we synchronize the breath with movements, participants will feel a lessening of muscular tension cultivating both physical and emotional energy, calming the mind and reconnecting with the spirit. Also, we will practice nourishing your Qi while traveling. These movements will take place in a seated position.

Margie Mitchell began her Qigong journey with “7 Minutes of Magic” learning Qigong with Lee Holden while being a Physical Education Teacher. During her lunch period, she made time for a “qigong practice” for 7 minutes-which transformed her day! In 2016, Margie finally got to meet Qigong Masters Lee Holden and John Platt while taking a week-long workshop at Kripula, in Lenox, MA.

Upon retiring from the Mashpee School system, Margie enrolled in the 200 hours Holden Qigong Teacher Training Course. Margie has taught qigong locally at Highfield Hall, the Falmouth and Mashpee Senior Centers. She traveled to Santa Cruz, CA in August 2024 for a higher level training with Qigong Master Lee Holden.
