When the body flows like running water, it is always renewed, always fresh. This is true freedom.
Join this unique workshop that blends the strength and flexibility of yoga with the flowing grace of Qigong to create a unified practice grounded in awareness and vitality.
Rooted in ancient wisdom, Yoga and Qigong are sacred paths up the same mountain, leading to the radiant summit of higher consciousness. When practiced together, they create a powerful alchemy that balances yin and yang, heaven and earth, sun and moon, strength and surrender.
Through breathwork, flowing movement, and meditation, you'll explore the Taoist principle of wu Wei, "effortless action,” infusing all movement with fluidity and ease, on the mat and in daily life, while cultivating deep energetic awareness.
You will learn:
- Breathing techniques to enhance and direct life force (prana/qi)
- Golden Lotus, Swimming Dragon, and other Qigong forms to open the meridians
- Meditative Vinyasa sequences grounded in mindful awareness
- Meridian tapping to awaken the 14 channels, six energy gates, and three energy centers
- Concentration practices to support mental clarity and inner stillness
Enjoy graceful, gentle movements in both forms and embrace the powerful effects of Qigong and Yoga as you detoxify your body and increase your strength, flexibility, and peace of mind.
