As the founder of Selkirk Partners, Stewart Strawbridge guides a globally networked equity investment firm. Stewart Strawbridge and his wife, Dr. Elizabeth Strawbridge, recently launched Good Medicine Collective, a nonprofit organization in Portland, Maine, that focuses on holistic and affordable approaches to wellness.
One of the core offerings of Good Medicine Collective is the six-week series Qi Gong for Health, which presents a fitness technique that was developed by Buddhist and Taoist monks in ancient China. Qi gong focuses on cultivating the life-force that underlies vitality and enables self-healing. Centered on deep breathing and meditative motion, qi gong is usually performed in a standing position. The exercise incorporates a series of stylized and rhythmic movements that include gentle twists of the torso and the lowering and raising of the arms. These movements are held from a few seconds to several minutes, with the slow burn accompanied by a focus on breath and a visualization of the body’s energy flow along the meridians. A foundational practice, qi gong is often incorporated with complex disciplines such as tai chi.
