What is Qi Gong?

qi-gong
Qi Gong is a traditional Chinese practice of aligning breath and movement

to boost energy, mental focus and physical well-being. Through Qi Gong, you will be able to relax the body, calm the mind, and uplift the spirit with simple, easy-to-do, flowing movements and exercises, breathing practices and meditation techniques. This combination of elements activates the body's natural relaxation response, helping you feel simultaneously relaxed and energized, more present, more connected, and more resilient. Qi Gong is a gentle form of exercise that is empowering, self-healing, enjoyable and easy. It will improve your health and your overall well-being! Qi Gong's exercises and flowing movements are designed to enliven the body's Qi (energy) which is the fundamental life energy responsible for health and vitality. The gentle movements of the practice will stretch and strengthen your muscles, improve your balance and your flexibility, and improve the circulation of blood and oxygen throughout your body which will improve your immune system, remove toxins and make you stronger and healthier.

I am extremely passionate about sharing the practice of Qi Gong with my students.

I was blessed to have trained with the world renowned Qi Gong Masters -

Lee Holden, Nan Lu, Daisy Lee, Ken Cohen and Nick Loffree.

Qi Gong has changed my life for the best! The practice can do the same thing for you!

THE BENEFITS OF MY ONLINE CLASSES:

WE WORK ON BREATHING TECHNIQUES
Regular practice of breathing techniques will help you to deal with stress, anxiety and exhaustion. The breathing we do together in class will keep you energized, refreshed, and calm.

DAILY MOVEMENT IS GREAT FOR YOUR BODY, BRAIN & EMOTIONS
It is more important than ever to keep your body moving, particularly when you are spending most of your time indoors and your daily routine is less active. It is true what they say - “Sitting is the new Smoking!” Get up and get moving - you will feel better!

BRIDGE THE SOCIAL DISTANCE
We have built a community in our Zoom Studio. Join a class to meet someone new or invite your friends and family to practice Qi Gong with you. We need to stay socially connected. We are stronger and better when we are together!

EASY & COMFORTABLE

You will save time and money by not having to travel to a studio for my classes. You will be able to fully participate in my Qi Gong classes from the comfort of your own home. No need to wear a mask or be concerned about distancing yourself from others.

ANYONE CAN BENEFIT FROM QI GONG

Whether you are are looking to de-stress, recharge your energy or heal aches and pains, you will find the support you are in need of with this gentle and healing practice. Qi Gong is suitable for people of all ages and any fitness level, no prior experience is necessary.

Since I'm not able to go to Ciccotti for pool classes & aerobics classes,

Qi Gong is a great work out. I'm feeling stronger & thinking about

my posture as well. Thank you so much for all you do to prepare for class.

Even when you had time off you were working to bring new experiences for us.

You are a gift to me and an inspiration."

this morning , and loved every minute. It was a great workout!!!

Thanks Maria for adding this wonderful new class!

Testimonial from Marisa and Michael M, Clifton Park, NY

A dear friend introduced Maria to me and my husband after my husband

was diagnosed with a devastating illness.

Her knowledge of Qi Gong is vast and her abilities as an instructor are exceptional.

Through her Qi Gong classes, Maria has taught us ways

to alleviate the stress that is now part of our daily lives

by practicing Qi Gong during her classes as well as outside of class.

Qi Gong brings a sense of physical and spiritual wellness into our lives.

We leave Maria’s classes relaxed and restored, as well as energized.

We are so thankful that Maria is a part of our lives!
