Qigong classes
in Lancaster
Slow movement, steady breath, and quiet attention, in groups of four or fewer.
Qigong (pronounced chee gong) is a Chinese practice that pairs slow, repeated movements with steady breathing and quiet attention. If seated meditation has never worked for you, Qigong is a good place to try again, since your body has something to do while your mind settles. Classes are led by Jason Jacobs, a certified Medical and Integral Qigong instructor.
Your Path
Qigong, one step at a time.
Every class is capped at four people, so Jason can watch, adjust, and offer a different option for any movement that doesn't suit your body. New students join a small, welcoming group of regulars, and nobody expects you to know the forms on day one.

The Five Seasons
Saturday morning intensives built around the seasons of traditional Chinese medicine. Join at any season.
Give it a few weeks
The first class teaches you the movements. After a few weeks, your body starts to remember them on its own, and that's usually when people feel what Qigong actually does.
Qigong & Sound
Once a month, Jason and Vanessa lead gentle movement followed by live sound in zero gravity chairs. A good way to try both practices in one evening ($30).
What a Class Looks Like
Sixty unhurried minutes.
- Arrive
Breathe and loosen
A short check in and gentle warm up to bring your attention into your body.
- Move
Flowing forms
Slow, repeated movements paired with your breath. Every one can be adapted, including seated.
- Settle
Quiet stillness
A few minutes of standing or seated stillness to let the practice land before you leave.
Why Students Stay
A practice that builds on itself.
Qigong is a practice, and its effects tend to grow with steady attendance. Here's what our students often tell us they notice after a few weeks.
Qigong is a wellness practice and isn't a substitute for medical care.
- Less stress and inner restlessness
- A steadier mood through the week
- More energy without feeling wiped out
- Better sleep and an easier body
- Simple tools to calm down in the middle of a hard day
- A closer, kinder relationship with their own body
Your Instructor
Jason Jacobs
Jason found Qigong while recovering from a major heart attack brought on by years of chronic stress. After two decades of high pressure corporate work, it was the first practice that taught him how to slow down without shutting down.
He went on to certify as both a Medical Qigong and Integral Qigong instructor through the Institute of Integral Qigong and Tai Chi, and he teaches with the patience of someone who had to learn it the hard way.

Questions
Qigong FAQ
Where should I start?
Foundations of Qigong. It's open to all levels, and you can drop in any week for $20. Once the forms feel familiar, try Deepening Your Practice.
Will I be the only new person?
You might be, and that's completely fine. Our regulars were all new once, and Jason offers simpler options for every movement so you can follow along from your very first class.
What's the difference between Qigong and Tai Chi?
They're closely related. Tai Chi is a martial art built on a long, set sequence of movements. Qigong uses shorter, repeated movements centered on breath and energy, so it's easier to learn, and you can practice pieces of it anywhere.
Do I need to be fit or flexible?
No. Qigong is low intensity, and every movement can be adapted, including seated options. You never need to push through pain or keep up with anyone.
What should I wear?
Comfortable clothes you can move in.
Why are classes limited to four people?
Small groups let Jason see how each person is moving and offer options that fit. It's a choice we made on purpose.
Is the space accessible?
Our space is on the second floor and is reachable by stairs only. If stairs are a concern, please contact us before booking.
