Description: Hypnobirthing mania has spread across the country--and with very good reasons! Although the goal of the program is not to make labor “pain free”, many women have reported having a totally pain-free births. Mothers are awake and aware during labor - they can talk, they can think, they can move, and they are full participants in their own births - they are just very relaxed during surges. They have learned how to do this through specially-designed techniques they’ve been taught in class. Just a few of the benefits being experienced by hypnobirthing families are shorter labors, no frenzied pushing stage, being able to bond after the birth as a family without exhaustion for either the mother or the baby, a quicker recovery, less postpartum depression, greater breastfeeding success, and babies with higher Apgar scores. Self-hypnosis is very effective and can easily be used by almost everyone. In this course you will be using the book Wise Childbearing, What You Will Want to Know as You Make Your Birth Choices. Bonuses include the video “7 Tips for a Birth You Will Be Ecstatic Over” and so much more! Jennetta Billhimer is the director of Association for Wise Childbearing. She has been a birth doula and childbirth educator since 1996 and has assisted many women/families in preparing for gentle, calm, and joyful births. $20 textbook fee paid to instructor.

Description: Qi Gong is Chinese exercise often taught along with Tai Chi. It means life's energy work. Qi is energy flowing in all living things through pathways called meridians. When these pathways are blocked, the body isn't well. Our systems require a free flowing and balanced Qi. In this class, ideal for seniors, we will do slow physical exercises with stretching and abdominal breathing techniques. We will practice standing forms, the Golden Qi Ball, Eight Brocades or Three Hearts Nine Gates, and healing sounds combined with movement. By repetition we replenish the Qi, massage the internal organs and benefit the muscles, tendons and ligaments. It differs from Tai Chi by repeating movements instead of doing a long form with many differing poses.
