ONLINE ZOOM COMMUNITY - BASED QIGONG CLASS

"PLANT SEEDS OF INSPIRATION"

The days are getting longer, and we can see a burst of greenery, hear the birds, smell the flowers, and feel the growing warmth of the sun.

According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, Spring is associated with rebirth and growth. Spring is linked to the Wood element and the Liver/Gall Bladder organ network. Our Liver system is responsible for the smooth flow of energy and blood in the body. It governs our nervous system and emotions and is considered one of the women's most essential energy organs.

Following the seasons, energy keeps us fresh, active and engaged in our health. Spring is about growth, expansion, and new perspectives. We emerge from spring soil by stretching our tendons, ligaments, and fascia network, warming up our bodies to prepare for more activity as the summer months begin. Stretching the tendons allows a person ability to increase their strength.

The practice and principles of Qigong connect to our natural resources. An everyday commitment to your health is essential to help repair what you have damaged over the years, restore what you have left, and plant seeds of vitality and longevity.

This Zoom online class is offered on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I limit this class to fifteen students. It is more in-depth teaching and community-based, so I open the course 10 minutes before and after for open dialogue.

Qigong is a well-rounded practice, so I will share more in-depth self-care practices for the Spring Season and what they offer for your body, mind, and spirit.

Once registered, more online information will be sent.
