“As we work to heal the earth, the earth heals us. The land knows you, even when you are lost. Even a wounded world is feeding us. Even a wounded world holds us, giving us moments of wonder and joy.” ~Robin Wall Kimmerer
This dynamic 4th class for Summer-Earth begins with our Qigong warm-ups to release stagnation in the tissues and joints while invigorating the whole body and loosening up our Earth-tissues, i.e. our muscles and flesh. Standing Earth-Breathing Qigong, the Merging Stance, and Earth-Undulations are followed by a yoga practice designed to deepen our connection to the force of gravity, master our balance, while developing our proprioception. This latter portion has us gently moving our whole body for greater overall strength, flexibility, and balance while cultivating our Inner Earth. As always, we finish with a relaxing Savasana to help integrate the practice deep into our tissues.
