Qigong with Fred Chavez
Qi is the body's life force energy which is responsible for our vitality. Gong means skill, work or foundation. Qigong (sometimes written as Chi Kung) then is the practice of accumulating and cultivating vital life force energy (qi) in the body. This is achieved through the coordination of physical exercises, meditation and visualization, and breathing exercises. Qigong developed into a systematic healing art that integrates body, mind and spirit and is a main branch of traditional Chinese medicine.The effects of qigong practice include prevention and healing of disease, relief from stress, improved physical strength, improved mental focus, improved sexual function, spiritual enrichment and a slowing of the aging process. Tai Chi and Qigong are taught by Fred Chavez who has been a tai chi (taiji) and qigong practitioner since 1992. During that time he has studied the Chen, Yang and Sun styles of tai chi and numerous forms of qigong. He has been a Certified Tai Chi for Arthritis (TCA) Instructor with the Arthritis Foundation since January 2007. In December 2008, he became a Certified Instructor of Evidence-Based Taiji and Qigong (EBT) with the Center for Taiji and Qigong Studies. (www.centerfortaiji.com) Zumba!

San Antonio Ecstatic Dance invites you to join in the formation of a new dance community. The process is evolving and exciting. This dance is created by the community, in the community, to serve the community. Contribute your presence. Dance from your essence. The time is now to express whatever it is you want, to be whoever you are, and take your place on the dance floor! Movement, rhythm, and music have been used by cultures throughout the world for millennia to induce healing and ecstatic states of being. Gathering together in community on the dance floor, in movement, music, and breath activates potent life force energy for creation and transformation. Ecstatic dance may be used as a form of active meditation or prayer where music from around the world combined with free-form self-guided movement and breath are used to shift brain wave patterns from the day-to-day busyness to the more meditative and insightful alpha state. In this state, you may more easily access creative and expanded visions of your life and purpose. At the very least, you will exercise, release tension, and have fun!
