“Yin Dao, Qi Dao” – where the mind goes, the Qi flows

NB - this class is from December 2024

Feel it in your bones. Class 4 of 7 in our Water-themed practice to honour the Winter season. The focus continues with the health and vitality of our primary Water organs, the Kidneys – our energy storehouses – and now extends out through our entire skeletal structure. We begin with our Qigong warm-ups to release stagnation in the tissues and joints, invigorate our whole body, while rooting our feet (KI1), stimulating our kidneys, and shaking into our bones. “Gentle Undulations” and “Scooping the Water” movements further enhance our work and awareness. As usual, we flow through vinyasas with longer-held standing poses for greater overall strength and flexibility to cultivate strong, healthy Qi, while densifying our bones. As always, our class finishes with a restorative Savasana to fully integrate our practice into our body-minds and deep into our marrow.
