Lower and Upper Back Health Qigong Workshop:
Many people are all too familiar with back problems, either because they know someone who has experienced them, or they have personal experience. In this workshop Shifu Plitt will be teaching ancient Chinese Qigong exercises that help promote a strong, healthy, flexible back.

This will be a shorter workshop because we do not want to fatigue anyone’s back. Due to the fact that this is a shorter workshop there will not be a booklet handout at the beginning. All attendees are encouraged to bring notebooks and cameras to help remember each exercise after the workshop is over.

Details:
• Location: KSW Karate 20200 Hwy. 88, Pine Grove, CA
• This is an morning workshop that will last from 9:00am to 11:00am
• Attendance is $25 per person
