Yoga - All Levels
Instructor: Marie Chan
Yoga is an ancient form of exercise uniting breath with movement. It is a fun, gentle, no impact, non-competitive way to
improve your well-being physically and mentally. Yoga practice improves breathing, relaxation, posture alignment, flexibility,
muscle tone, core strength, balance, and coordination. It also includes restorative components. This is an All Levels class.
Beginning and returning students, existing yoga practitioners are welcome. Basic poses with variations and flow sequences
will be introduced and reviewed. Poses can be practiced at different levels to accommodate various abilities and mild joint
issues. This class is suitable for anyone in general good health including seniors who have been active. No previous yoga
experience is necessary. Be prepared to practice bare feet. Wear comfortable clothing that will not restrict movement.
Daily personal practice is encouraged. Students must be in good enough physical condition to perform light to moderate
exercise. Bring to class a firm blanket.Yoga mat is optional.We have some props in the classroom. Do not eat for two hours
before class. Practicing yoga on a full stomach may cause lethargy, discomfort and even nausea. Note: If you have any ques-
tions whether this class is suitable for you, contact Marie at (828) 305-8816, or at email asanayoga.rfc@gmail.com

Qi Gong
Instructor: Edward Kan
Qi Gong is a centuries-old mind and body practice. It in-
volves a number of easy, slow and gentle movements with
breathing, and relaxation. The movements can be practiced
while walking, standing, or even sitting. Research findings
suggest that practicing Qi Gong regularly may improve bal-
ance and stability in older people and those with Parkin-
son’s, reduce pain from knee osteoarthritis, help people
cope with fibromyalgia and back pain, and promote quality
of life and mood in people with heart failure and cancer.
Qi Gong may help to improve general quality of life, and
offer psychological benefits, such as reducing depression
and anxiety. The class will focus on improving balancing, in
addition to all the above health benefits. If you are already
healthy, this class will help you maintain your health and
fitness. The gentle movements of Qi Gong practiced cor-
rectly should not have any negative side effects, and is safe
for all people with normal mobility. For more detail about
the above and other potential health benefits of Qi Gong,
please read the research reports at the NIH web site: www.
nccih.nih.gov/health/taichi. Ed Kan has been teaching Tai Chi
and Qi Gong in this area since 2006.
