Qi Gong with Farmer Billy

A Hickory Nut Gap tradition remixed! Same aim as our traditional barn yoga, new methods! Get comfortable and bring your best to the Big Barn as we cultivate flow-state with HNG's own Farmer Billy. Billy practices what he believes, working a physically demanding job like farming while maintaining consistent and high levels of energy with a smile is made possible practicing Qi Gong (pronounced 'chee-gong'). His style of teaching comes from the Noble Movement Academy. All levels welcome! These are simple movements, but they're not simplistic.

A word about Qi Gong from Farmer Billy: "If Qi Gong is new to you, great! Beginner's mind welcome. It's a deep rabbit hole, but here is the essence. Qi is often translated as "energy" or "life-force." Gong is often translated as "practice", "skill", or "mastery." Simply put, Qi Gong represents a series of subtle and pronounced physical techniques whose aim is to unify the practitioner's physical movements with their breath and their imagination. Practitioners--novice and seasoned alike--often report a sense of groundedness, ease in the body, clarity of mind, spontaneous creativity, and more connection to their Self. Consistently practicing these techniques will bring you more energy, focus, and creativity."
