Summer Practice   The beautiful summer weather allows us to practice outdoors more frequently and intensify our union with nature. Some people like the experience of Qigong on the beach, in a park, or in one's own backyard.     The most beautiful and energetic place where I offer outdoor classes is at Scripps Center for Integrative Medicine in Torrey Pines, La Jolla. The classes are on Mondays 2:45 - 3:45 PM and Tuesdays 5:30 - 6:30 PM. We overlook the ocean surrounded by beautiful trees,and singing birds on this sacred land.   Monday 2:45 PM class is Qigong Meditation. On sunny days we sit under the trees experiencing the soft ocean breeze while practicing our breathing exercises, healing sounds, and meditations. The class usually starts and ends a little later, so if you leave at 4 PM there is no fee for parking, Traffic is light at that time.    Tuesday  5:30 PM class  offers a variety of different  Qigong techniques. Sometimes we have use of the labyrinth and do Qigong healing walks into its center where we practice to the panoramic setting sun. Contrary to what you might think, traffic from the North and East is not heavy. No fee for parking.   When weather does not permit , please check the front desk of the Fitness Center on the ground floor for location of the indoor class.   Support Qigong as part of integrative medicine, come join our class at Scripps.    Have a very happy Fourth of July---                                                 and enjoy the beauty of nature.    Fay 760-729-1102 info@QigongWithFayMcGrew.com CURRENT WEEKLY CLASS SCHEDULE UPDATES detail info on www.QigongWithFayMcGrew.com schedule, prices subject to change   Rancho Bernardo Joslyn Senior Center                                         Mondays 10.30-11.50am Last class  - August 10 Fall Semester Begins August 27  La Jolla @ Scripps Center for Integrative Medicine* SCIM is under renovation, Class locations may change until new classroom is ready by August 09.  Please check front desk at the Fitness Center (ground floor) for class location.  We meet outdoors by the labrynth when weather permits.
