Syner-Qi is our monthly event where we will explore a Qigong practice together. Each month will feature an NQA Professional member who will guide participants through a Qigong practice and/or meditations.
Whether you're a novice or seasoned practitioner, Syner-Qi offers something to suit every level. This event is perfect for newcomers eager to sample different techniques and for seasoned practitioners seeking fresh perspectives. Moreover, participants can integrate elements from each session into their personal practice.
If you can't make it to this live event, a recording will be added to the Syner-Qi Archive within the NQA membership hub. We also send an email of the recording to all registrants.
Join us the Sunday after Qi Talks at 3 PM EST.
Members: Free
Non-Members: $25

Syner-Qi with Cari Shurman

Qigong and Tai Chi are perfect for every age. We often think of it primarily for adults, but I have been doing simplified moves based on Qigong with children of all ages for 25 years. After studying in China and consulting with teachers there about the best way to approach children I developed a program called Tai Chi for Kids©.
Kids of all ages love it. Preschool kids relate very well to the imagery. They can fly! Elementary school kids tell me they love to be elephants because they had never been to Africa before. High school kids tell me their grades went up because they learned to focus better. And adults (we are kids, too, of course) say a few minutes of Tai Chi for Kids makes the whole day feel better.
The imagery and visualization are very powerful. Kids tell me -
I felt like I was really flying. It was wonderful. I could see the houses down below.
I am going to do it everyday so I don't get tummy aches.
I showed my mom and dad how to do it. They like it, too.
I like to sleep with an energy ball. It helps we fall asleep better.
You can do it alone, or as a family.
You can outside next to a tree, or in the house.
You can do 5 minutes of 25 minutes.
You can do what works for you in your busy life.
