Qigong For Stress & Tension

Take some time to slow down, release physical tension, and settle the body.
This gentle Restorative Qigong practice is designed to help you soften areas of unnecessary tension and reconnect with a sense of ease and calm.
We begin in standing Wuji, settling through the feet and softening the knees, before gently loosening the shoulders and arms.
Move gently and comfortably, without forcing or striving. Allow your body to work at its own pace.
