Virginia Norton started Horse Heaven Tai Chi and Qigong in 2017, and offers Qigong and introductory Yang style Tai Chi classes to the Prosser, Washington, and Lower Yakima Valley community. Through breath and gentle movements, students will experience greater ease, strength, flexibility, and energy.

Qigong sets taught at Horse Heaven Tai Chi & Qigong:

• Daoist Five Yin Organ Set (Five Elements)

• Yi Jin Jing (Shaolin Tendon Change Classic)

• Celestial Pillar Qigong from Ling Gui International School of Healing Qigong

• Dr. Jerry Alan Johnson Qigong Set

• Nine Phases of Cultivation (Dr. Roger Jahnke)

• Healer Within Qigong (Dr. Roger Jahnke)

Tai Chi instruction includes learning proper alignment and breath through a simple sequence of Tai Chi postures (moves). Focus is on learning to relax with the breath while moving  -- a meditation in motion.

I picked the name "Horse Heaven Tai Chi and Qigong" because the Horse Heaven Hills rise just south of Prosser, enchanting and beautiful. They were once home to herds of wild mustangs who would come down the hills to the Yakima River for water.
