Classes, Homepage Recent Posts, Qigong ClassesLeave a comment

Winter is a time of deep rest and nourishing our roots. Let’s do both with an ancient Taoist alchemical practice that is pure magic – Refine Qi. 

Refine Qi, Yang Qi Gong 養氣功 – Nourishing/Transforming Qi qigong is a method both of generating Qi inside our body and refining the quality of Qi we’ve gathered from Nature. It is a foundational practice taught in Level 1 of Zhong Yuan Qigong and is used in all subsequent levels. 

While simple, this practice is powerful – filling our body with warmth, heat, Mystery, waves of Qi and, in a moment – transformation from the inside out. For all of us, seeds of goodness and transformation lie within. Qigong gives us tools and a pathway of inner cultivation birthing joy, good health, wellbeing, peace, and wisdom and the development of our Soul. Let us dive into the nourishment and transformation of Qigong with Yang Qi Gong – Refine Qi – True inner Alchemy.Join us on this 6-week journey.
