Mindful Movement (Qigong) w/ Donna - Mindful Movement Qigong S9
Mindful Movement Qigong
(Chi gong) is a developmental, individual abilities, trauma informed approach to self-care that integrates mindfulness and mindful movement to help develop mobility, flexibility and stability. Qigong is similar to Tai Chi and Yoga but is less structured and easier to learn yet yields the similar benefits. About the Independent Instructor Dr. Donna Kester Phillips; A life-long resident of Grand Island (and former Island elementary school teacher), Dr. Donna Kester Phillips was introduced to yoga in the late 60’s and eventually became a certified trauma-informed Yoga teacher. She continued to explore mindfulness and mindful movement, which led her to become a certified Lee Holden Qigong instructor. As an Associate Professor of Education, she integrates mindfulness into her teacher preparation classes. All of these experiences inspired her to establish the annual Mindfulness Conversations and Mindful Movement Conference at Niagara University with the purpose of connecting others practicing mindfulness in their own professions. Most recently, she created the Center for Mindful Practice at Niagara University, an organization where she is currently the Director.Tuesdays' at 11am- 1230pm Location: Community Center 3278 Whitehaven Rd.

Mindful Movement (Qigong) w/ Donna - Mindful Movement Qigong S9
Mindful Movement Qigong
(Chi gong) is a developmental, individual abilities, trauma informed approach to self-care that integrates mindfulness and mindful movement to help develop mobility, flexibility and stability. Qigong is similar to Tai Chi and Yoga but is less structured and easier to learn yet yields the similar benefits. About the Independent Instructor Dr. Donna Kester Phillips; A life-long resident of Grand Island (and former Island elementary school teacher), Dr. Donna Kester Phillips was introduced to yoga in the late 60’s and eventually became a certified trauma-informed Yoga teacher. She continued to explore mindfulness and mindful movement, which led her to become a certified Lee Holden Qigong instructor. As an Associate Professor of Education, she integrates mindfulness into her teacher preparation classes. All of these experiences inspired her to establish the annual Mindfulness Conversations and Mindful Movement Conference at Niagara University with the purpose of connecting others practicing mindfulness in their own professions. Most recently, she created the Center for Mindful Practice at Niagara University, an organization where she is currently the Director.Tuesdays' at 11am- 1230pm Location: Community Center 3278 Whitehaven Rd. What to bring: Yoga mat, indoor Sneakers, or barefoot or socks. Water Bottle (optional). *This program is taught by an independent instructor
