"I've been teaching Qigong, the gentle art of healing through movement based on Chinese medicine, since 2014 in many different settings, in Santa Fe, New Mexico and online.  

Of all these places, Casa Werma — a gem of peace inside the magical town of Patzcuaro — is the most beautiful place. It's a joy and honor to offer my classes of Qigong, which is based on the cycles of nature, in the heart of nature, in this garden setting, and to be part of this welcoming community.  

Please visit when you are coming to Patzcuaro! 

Many blessings, Ellen
