Qigong is a gentle moving meditation and energy self-healing practice that transforms stress into vitality by harmonizing breath, movement, and intention. It supports balance, reduces the risk of falls, strengthens the immune and cardiovascular systems, lowers blood pressure, and regulates the nervous system.
As an effective complementary therapy for mental health, it helps reduce anxiety, depression, and stress while improving mood, well-being, and self-esteem. The practice can be done seated or standing. Please wear comfortable clothes and shoes for easy movement, and bring a bottle of water to stay hydrated after the practice.

Think Somatics Ribbon Cutting Event with the Haywood County Chamber of Commerce
2025-11-06 11:00 - 13:00
Kristin Jackson, owner of Think Somatics, is a Personal Trainer and Somatic Educator. She works with clients one-on-one and in group settings, helping people move with greater ease, awareness, and confidence to support lifelong physical and cognitive health.
Stacy Antos, Self-Care Strategist and Master Health Coach, empowers women to move from burnout to balance through weekly workshops focused on practical self-care strategies around nutrition, movement, stress management, and sleep. Her belief is that in a world that glorifies burnout, self-care is an act of rebellion. Showing up for yourself is the bravest move you’ll make.
Together they are celebrating their own businesses and new collaborative programs, including offerings for women in perimenopause, menopause, and beyond. These programs are designed to help women feel empowered, supported, and ready to embrace this next chapter. Gone are the hush-hush days of “the change”—it’s time to step into this next chapter with confidence and curiosity. Let’s be rebels, not relics!
Stop by to celebrate, connect, and learn more about their work while enjoying nutritious snacks, calming beverages, and drawings for services.
Please register so we know you’re coming!
