WINTER Beginner workshop
Harmonizing Fire Qi and Water Qi
This is a 4 week series that will promote healthy heart function, bolster the kidneys, increase immune response, improve digestion, and enhance overall connection between you and the earth.
Fire Qi represents the warmth we receive from the food we eat, and the air we breathe. Also known as Post Birth Qi, it is associated with emotions. Too much fire can cause scattered emotions and confuse the mind.
Water Qi represents what we inherit from our parents before we are born. Also known as Pre Birth Qi, it cools the Fire Qi so the mind will become clear, centered, and calm. It is the wisdom part of the body.
When Fire Qi and Water Qi mix, mind, body, and soul are nourished and balanced.
Each class will start with the Microcosmic Breath and General Cleanse, followed by a combination of each exercise to develop the internal Qi, or life-force energy. You will leave the class feeling restored, spirited, full of vitality, and an understanding of mind body awareness to ultimately pave the way to health and longevity!
