Balancing Seasonal Qi: Autumn Essentials
With Addie deHilsterIn this course, you’ll learn about the energy of Autumn, from the nature-based Taoist perspective behind Yin Yoga and Qigong practices. You’ll discover a variety of practical tools here, including meridian stretches for the upper body, key acupressure points, easy Qigong movements, and more. Each lesson will introduce you to the themes of this season, as well as powerful-but-simple practices for healthy breathing, supporting the immune system, and releasing old energies and habits you no longer need. As the leaves begin to fall, the days grow shorter, and the harvest time starts to wane, we humans are invited to practice letting go, too. By turning our attention inward in this season, we discover a sense of quiet dignity in the midst of change. (Music Credit: "Almost in F" by Kevin MacLeod/Incompetech, under Standard License.)
