Qigong & Nei Gong Online Class

Alan Bandes leads this class in qigong and nei gong. While both qigong and nei gong are practices that aim at cultivating and harnessing the body’s “life force” or energy we call qi or “chi”, there is a slight difference.  Qigong is general term for energy cultivation while nei gong is a bit more focused on internal strength, breath and power.  Both compliment each other.  This class will alternate and at times combine these two related exercises.
