Garden Qi Gong, hosted by Celia at her garden studio in Magnolia

It is wonderful to practice outdoors in nature when weather permits. I thought for Summer we could try something different and practice outside. This studio opens out into the garden, so we can practice under a cover if weather is not optimal……. and still be open to the outdoors!
