Tao and Zen Healing will offer three free qigong classes from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m., December 6, 13 and 20, at the First Baptist Church, in Jamaica Plain.

During this busy time of year, people often focus on others, putting themselves last. Taking some time to relax and rejuvenate is essential to maintaining energy and avoiding holiday burnout. Qigong relieves stress, lowers blood pressure and helps balance emotions.

Qigong is an ancient moving meditation dating back thousands of years. Those that have struggled to enjoy yoga and/or sitting meditation may find qigong to be the perfect balance of the two. And while it is related to tai chi, it is much easier to learn.

Cost: Free. Location: 633 Centre St., Jamaica Plain. Registration requested for a head count at 617-524-2795 or TaoAndZenHealing.com/register.
