Discover a gentle yet powerful way to move, rest and recharge.
This five-week course introduces you to the foundations of Qigong, an ancient Chinese movement and meditation practice that helps you feel more grounded, relaxed and alive.
We’ll explore the Five Elements (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water) through simple movement, breath, and stillness. These elemental qualities help us understand the natural cycles of life and how to move through them with more ease.
Whether you’re brand new to Qigong or looking to deepen your practice, this small, supportive group will offer a spacious way to reconnect with your own rhythm.
What You’ll Experience:
A grounding introduction to Qigong, with easy-to-follow practices.
A focus on one of the Five Elements each week: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water.
Gentle journaling prompts and reflections to integrate each element into your life sent in a handbook.
Techniques to balance and align your energy, helping you cultivate more vitality and ease.
A welcoming, supportive environment where you can explore at your own pace.
Suitable for all levels—including complete beginners.
Just bring yourself and wear comfortable clothes you can move in.
