Salem Kiwanis Club
 
Doug Nybell from Crystal Dragon Family Martial Arts Center attending our Club meeting on March 31, 2016.  He provided us great insight at to Taekwondo and especially Qigong.  Qigong breathing is based on Taoist breathing methods that focus on returning the way we breathe to what is in harmony with nature. These methods focus on creating a circular breath that starts from the belly and is relaxed. These methods can be practiced sitting or while doing any of the Energy Arts  exercises.  We stood and practiced some of the basic exercises.  What a great meeting!  Doug is pictured below with Kiwanis President Melissa Boughner and March speaker chair, Jen Colella.
