From the reviews
I discovered Start Your Sunday with Qigong and have stuck with the class ever since. I have chronic pain and afterwards, Always feel so much better in my body. I’ve learned breathing exercises that I use to help with sleep and easy exercises to use any time when I feel shoulder neck and back tension.

Qigong-Infused Yoga has become such an important part of my life! I completed the teacher training with Lynne, and I attend her class nearly every Sunday because her teaching style is so gentle, supportive, and truly uplifting.

New to tai chi? Start at Qigong Infused Yoga™
Qigong Infused Yoga™ comes up as a beginner-friendly studio, going by its listing and students' reviews. If you've never tried tai chi, that's exactly who a good beginners class is for. A few things worth knowing before your first session. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — the movements are slow and gentle, you set your own pace, and many can be done seated if standing is hard. Second, there's nothing to buy and nothing to keep up with — wear comfortable clothes and flat, flexible shoes, and simply follow along. Third, all ages and abilities really are welcome — ask whether there's a dedicated beginners or all-levels class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most studios are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first tai chi class at Qigong Infused Yoga™
Nervous about walking into a tai chi class for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good instructors expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a gentle warm-up, then learning a few slow movements of the form, step by step — no pressure to get it perfect, and you can rest or sit whenever you need to. What to wear: loose, comfortable clothing you can move in, and flat, flexible shoes (some studios practice in socks or bare feet). What to bring: water, and that's about it — there's no equipment to buy. Arrive a few minutes early to say hello to the instructor and mention it's your first class. It comes together faster than you'd think — most people feel far more at ease by their second or third visit.
