"Water is the driving force of all nature." ~Leonardo da Vinci

"Water is life's matter and matrix, mother and medium. There is no life without water." ~Albert Szent-Gyorgyi (Nobel Prize-winning biochemist)

Class 6 of 7 in our Water-themed practice to honour the Winter season explores Water’s relationship to all the other elements. With a continued focus on the health and vitality of our primary Water organs, the Kidneys, and extends out through our whole being. 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 also weave in the practice “Madame Wong’s Longevity Qigong” and some "Scooping the Water" qigong as they target our Water organs. The second half has us gently stretching & opening in some key restorative poses to reinforce and deepen our work. Our class finishes with a restorative Savasana to fully integrate our practice into our body-minds and deep into our DNA.
