At the end of the Bhagavad Gita, Krishna says to Arjuna, “Let go. Don’t cling to the fruits of your actions. Live your life and be unattached to what happens. Do this and you will find real freedom.”
The 7th and final installment of our Water-themed yoga and qigong to honour the Winter season summarizes and consolidates our last few weeks of practice. With a continued focus on the health and vitality of our primary Water organs, the Kidneys, and extends out through our entire KI meridian from KI1 to KI27. As usual, we begin with Qigong warm-ups to release stagnation in the tissues and joints, invigorate our whole body, stimulate our kidneys, and shake deep into our bones (our Water tissues). Add to this a few minutes of “Cupping” to further densify our bones and stimulate stem cell production. Also, our Ragdoll Toss will emphasize the “wringing out and refreshing” of our Kidney meridian. As always, we flow through vinyasas with longer-held standing poses for greater overall strength and flexibility. We’ll finish with a restorative Savasana to fully integrate the practice into our body-minds, allowing it to penetrate deep into our genetic programming or DNA.
