“Few things under heaven are as instructive as the lessons of Silence.” Tao Te Ching

Class 3 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 to our sense of hearing and capacity to listen. We begin 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 – this time through the “Water-Healing Sound”. “Gentle Undulations” and “Scooping the Water” movements further enhance the benefits to our kidneys. The remaining 45 minutes has us practicing some gentle stretching, strengthening, and 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 bodies and minds.
