— a sanctuary for movement, energy, and renewal.
Welcome to EKAM
At the heart of EKAM is Qigong, the ancient Chinese art of cultivating life force energy (Qi) through gentle movement, breathwork, and mindful intention. Our classes are more than just exercise — they are powerful tools for transformation, healing, and reconnection to your body’s natural intelligence.
Whether you’re looking to ground your nervous system, replenish your energy, or simply find a sense of calm in your day, our classes are designed to meet you exactly where you are.
What is QiGong?
QiGong is the ancient art of cultivating life-force energy.
Born in China over 4,000 years ago, QiGong (氣功) evolved as a way to balance or harmonize the body, mind, and spirit. For millennia, practitioners have passed down these flowing movements, breathing techniques, and meditative awareness as a way to nourish vitality, strengthen resilience, and (re-)connect to the rhythms of nature.
Through gentle, water-like movements and mindful breath, QiGong dissolves stress, clears stagnation, and awakens the innate healing capacity within. It is often described as “moving meditation”—a practice that cultivates both stillness and flow, grounding and uplift, softening and strengthening.
Through practice, QiGong provides a way to return to your center, feel deeply connected to life, and open to the vast creative force moving through all things.
Move your body. Free your energy. Transform your life.
Why QiGong?
Releases stress and tension from the body
Supports immune, hormonal, and emotional balance
Enhances mental clarity and resilience

Whether you’re brand new to Qigong or a seasoned practitioner, our classes are designed to be accessible, inclusive, and deeply supportive. Join us weekly in-person or online, or step into one of our immersive retreats to experience the full alchemy of this practice.
