New to Qigong? Check out the new Introductory Qigong classes with Margie Mitchell on Thursdays at 10am. Cost is $40 for all four weeks, or $15 per class. Register online below, or pay in person at the class. This class is for those with little to no experience with qigong.

Dates of classes are: January 9th, 16th, 23rd, and 30th.

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.

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.
