Description
Qigong has been a part of Chinese culture for well over 2,000 years. Along with acupuncture and herbology, it’s one of the main branches of Chinese medicine.
In the Qigong for Seasonal Health series, the goal is to improve our health by being in harmony with the changing energies of nature. In this class you’ll learn:
- Exercises for spinal flexibility;
- The Bear Frolic, part of the Five Animal Frolics originally developed by Hua Tuo in the 2nd century;
- Bone Marrow Cleansing, created in the 6th century;
- The essential exercise for the Kidneys;
- Lake and Geyser Meditation to move the Qi internally;
- Seven Stars of the Microcosmic Orbit meditation to move the Qi externally;
- Suggestions for your Winter diet and herbs to support your body.
Learn the components of this seasonal practice, then adapt them to fit your schedule and your needs, whether you have five minutes or an hour available.
Beginning and experienced participants are welcome. Wear clothing that is suitable for movement and sitting. A handout with room for notes will be provided.
