Qigong Classes

Weekly Qigong Classes

You are invited to attend classes at our Elfin Forest Qigong Studio, a beautiful straw bale building in rural North San Diego County. Please visit our Calendar for our class schedule. Generally we offer weekly classes on:

• Saturday 9:00-10:30am
• Thursday 9:00-10:30am (Thursday classes at the studio are currently on hiatus, expect to resume mid-Feb 2020)

If you are new to qigong, please feel welcome to attend a class to give it a try. We practice seated, standing and sometimes lying down. Classes are suitable for everyone, of all ages, regardless of physical condition or experience.

Please email us for directions before attending your first class. We will send you easy to follow directions rather than relying on your navigation system.

Our Studio is easily accessed (6-12 miles) from Encinitas, Carlsbad, Escondido, San Marcos, San Elijo Hills, Vista and Rancho Bernardo.

It is surrounded by an abundant fruit orchard and is beautifully landscaped with roses, succulents and other delightful plantings. Our solar powered studio has radiant-heated floors.

Everyone is welcome, no experience needed.

Wear comfortable clothes, socks, or bring indoor shoes/slippers. Please refrain from wearing perfumes, aftershave, essential oils, any strong smelling lotion or sunscreen to class.

For maximum benefit, come with an open mind, an open heart and a willingness to learn. Classes are appropriate for beginners and continuing students and will provide instruction on methods of practice that you can easily continue at home. Instructional materials (written instructions, digital audio and video recordings) are available. Advanced classes are offered periodically. Please inquire if you are not sure if they are appropriate for you.
