“Nothing is so strong as gentleness, nothing so gentle as real strength.” ~ St. Francis de Sales

Class 1 of 7 is our first instalment of Water-themed practice to honour the Winter season. The focus is on the health and vitality of our primary Water organs, the Kidneys – our energy storehouses. It begins with our Qigong warm-ups to release stagnation in the tissues and joints, invigorate our whole body, while rooting our feet (KI1) and stimulating our kidneys. "Earth Breathing Qigong" and “Gentle Undulations” further enhance the benefits to our kidneys. As usual, we flow through vinyasas with longer-held standing poses for greater overall strength and flexibility while cultivating strong, healthy Qi. As always, our class finishes with a restorative Savasana to fully integrate our practice into our bodies and minds.
