Welcome to Peaceful Qigong!

My intention is to offer qigong to the greater Sacramento, California area to anyone who is interested in improving their quality of life. I feel that at the most fundamental level, all we want is to be happy, and the deepest happiness is peace.

When I teach, I try to give participants the experience of leaving feeling better than when they arrived. Qigong, when practiced as mindful movement, can make people feel more present, more easeful, less stressed, and people usually end up feeling more peaceful.

I bring together years of body-mind study and development through qigong practice, Vipassana Buddhist meditation, decades of Aikido, and my masters in psychology. I've been teaching adults for close to 25 years in my non-meditative life, teaching community college students with learning challenges where I learned to break things down, to distill and teach only the most important things. I've also led interactive stress reduction workshops to stressed out college students . More about Martine Shelley.

Invitation

I invite you to join me for a class, workshop or a class series. and experience more ease, well-being and presence.

You don't have to know anything, have any special clothing or equipment, or be in a special place to start accessing this peace which is always available to you.

Come and learn some simple moves with me and take the risk of having a little more peace in your life! More about classes.
