|Recurring Event (See all)

An event every week that begins at 5:30 pm on Thursday, repeating until February 22, 2018

Sign up for Winter Wellness Chi Gong!

Winter Wellness Chi Gong is a form of medical Chi Gong created by a noted grandmaster.  The graceful, flowing movements of this form emphasize grounding, joint flexibility, balance, and opening the chest and lungs.  In the process, virtually all the acupuncture meridians are addressed.  Like all forms of medical Chi Gong, Winter Wellness focuses specifically on encouraging health and healing and assisting in the flow of the life force (Chi).  And, again like all medical Chi Gong, its foundation is in relaxation and breathing.  Come experience the warming flow of Chi!

Chi Gong, sometimes called the mother of Tai Chi, is a form of exercise and moving meditation invented thousands of years ago in China to strengthen the body, calm the mind, and encourage the free flow of the life force.  Chi Gong may help with depression, mental focus, sense of balance, high blood pressure, sleep disorders, and lack of energy.  Properly done, Chi Gong is calming to the nervous system, and is an excellent tool for stress management.

Michelle Bobier

Hello and be well!  My name is Michelle Bobier.  I have been studying Tai Chi and Chi Gong for 24 years with Master Hongchao Zhang, one of the leading Chinese martial arts masters in America; Master Zhang awarded me a Sixth Duan in Chi Gong in 2015.  Additionally, I am a Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapist who completed the 700-hour BCST training at 3rd Coast Craniosacral of Evanston.  Additionally, I studied lymphatic work at the School of Inner health in Manitou Springs, Colorado.  The three modalities come together in my wellness practice, reSource Wellness, in Wilmette.  My mission is to create a space where people can feel a sense of safety, peace, comfort and support; tap into their resources for healing; and achieve deep rest that can lead to profound change.  If you would like information about Chi Gong, craniosacral, or lymphatic work, please feel free to visit my website, below.
