“We must let go of the life we have planned, so as to accept the one that is waiting for us.”

~ Joseph Campbell

Class 5 of 7 in our Water-themed practice to honour the Winter season – all about death & rebirth. The focus continues with the health and vitality of our primary Water organs, the Kidneys, and extends out through our entire skeletal structure. As usual, we begin with our 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). We'll hold Hugging the Tree Stance and practice “Madame Wong’s Longevity Qigong” as they target and stimulate our Kidneys, Water organs & tissues. The remaining 45 minutes has us practicing some gentle stretching, strengthening, and key restorative poses to reinforce and deepen our work. Our class finishes with either a longer held Viparita Karani on the Chair or Savasana to fully integrate our practice into our bodies and minds.
