Class Offering of Chi-Gong
The gentle but powerful Chinese movement exercise known as chi-gong [pronounced chee gong] is offered, beginning this May, for Capitol Hill Village members by Joni Bell. Joni, her-self a CHV member, has practiced this discipline for the past ten years. Her strength and balance have improved remarkably, and she credits the activity with helping her as a 30-year patient with multiple sclerosis. The twice-weekly classes last 30 to 40 minutes.
