Women's Qigong: Chinese Secrets of Longevity and Health

For women of all levels.

Qigong is a system of self-healing that has been used in China for more than 2,000 years to maintain health, achieve longevity, and treat disease. It consists of gentle exercises that combine breath, slow movement, self-massage, and meditation to harmonize body, mind, and spirit.

Learn gentle qigong movements designed exclusively for women to

• Revitalize the body
• Reduce stress
• Balance hormones
• Help prevent breast cancer
• Strengthen the lungs, digestion, and the immune system for winter.

To complement the more dynamic qigong, Deborah Davis also teaches an active meditation that uses visualization to heal the reproductive organs and breasts. This ancient Taoist meditation nourishes a woman’s blood and yin essence through all stages of life and can be used for depression, anxiety, and stress reduction. Qigong is easy to learn and beneficial for women of all ages.
