QIGONG: Moving and Speaking When the sun rises over Sunset Park, the highest point in the borough of Brooklyn, the light is soft, the leaves on the stone path listen, the benches wait, and groups of people practice qigong. They move in unison, reaching arms out, sweeping, lifting, balancing. They move slowly like cranes in a gentle walk along a river, like …

Massage Benefits: First Impressions
I’ve see people in the halls of Root after a massage. They float, walking slowly, softly, like angles in their white kimono robes.
