Join us on Tuesday and Thursday evenings by the Chinese Pavilion in Victoria Park, Riversdale, Saskatoon. It is the perfect backdrop for our summer Qigong in the Park classes! We will meet in Victoria Park near the Chinese pavilion that is directly south of Spadina Drive between Avenue C and D.
Qigong is an ancient Chinese exercise and healing technique that coordinates body posture and movement, breathing and meditation. People practice qigong throughout China and worldwide for recreation, exercise, relaxation, preventive medicine, self-healing, alternative medicine, meditation, self-cultivation and training for martial arts.
