Qi Activation
THE ANCIENT SCIENCE OF QIGONG
Qigong means “working with Qi”(commonly known as energy). It is a science of using the breath, body, mind, and sound to Achieve and Maintain Perfect Health.

Love Notes from Students
I have taken numerous classes from Carolyn. She is wonderful and teaches you the techniques to Spring Forest Qiqong. Not only does she teach you techniques, she gives you handouts to take home and by the end of the class you are able to do the practice by yourself. I highly recommend Carolyn and her practice. – Jo Pietig
- Student of Master Carolyn KrafkaCarolyn’s 6-week practice group was something I looked forward to every week. It was simple, peaceful, and really enjoyable self-care for me. Carolyn is so light, calm, and grounded, and she seemed to always find the right pace and flow for our group. She clearly has a passion for Spring Forest Qigong, which I see through her dedication to her own personal practice as well as her consistency in offering practice groups in our community. I have recommended her Spring Forest Qigong practice group to others many times and would continue to do so over and over again! – Amber Diehm Heuer
- Student of Master Carolyn KrafkaCarolyn made the class so comfortable, and easy to do my best. I took the classes and then went on some of the additional locations that she set up and had a great time. I learned so much and I want to thank her for helping me with another healing practice. Thanks Carolyn!!! – Deb Weidner

I always felt relaxed, refreshed and energized after class. I highly recommend the series, and I will take her classes again. Thanks, Carolyn. – Betsy McClimen
