“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 - Bubbling Spring points) and stimulating our kidneys. "Earth-Breathing Qigong" and “Gentle Undulations” further enhance the benefits to our kidneys. We then do a “deep-dive” with a guided Water-Healing meditation. The remaining 45 minutes has us practicing some key restorative poses to reinforce and deepen our work. As always, our class finishes with a restorative Savasana to fully integrate our practice into our body, mind, and embodied Water Element.
