EnerQi
EnerQi® combines the structure of Qigong with the joy of dance. Qigong is the vital energy inside and outside of the body. When we align the mind, posture and breathing, we can produce transformative results in healing and energy levels. Ballroom dance is an invigorating workout for the mind (memory) and body (physical action).
As a Wudang certified Qigong instructor, Karen created EnerQi ® by fusing together the healing components of Qigong with over thirty years ballroom experience.
This unique program increases flexibility, strengthens core muscles, improves concentration and creates a sense of peace and balance while training your body and mind to foster a longer, healthier, more enriching life.
Whether you choose the sexy salsa, cheeky cha cha or the romantic rhumba, you'll be able to waltz your way through this unique program and build your Qi. Not only that, but it's also a lot of fun!!!
Karen welcomes all ages and levels. We are launching the EnerQi® class on Jan 11, 2022. Click here for information about the class.
