Balancing Seasonal Qi: Winter Wellbeing

In this course, you’ll learn about the Yin energy of Winter, from the nature-based Taoist perspective behind Qigong and Yin Yoga practices. As we observe in nature, Winter is a time of hibernation, rest, and germination. During these darker, colder months, we are invited to slow down, repair from the impacts of stress, and prepare for Spring growth. The themes of this season highlight the Water Element and the attributes of the Kidney and Bladder Meridians. In each lesson, we will bring the theory to life through powerful-but-simple practices for calming anxiety, recovering from fatigue, and balancing stillness with flow. You’ll discover a variety of practical tools here, including meridian stretches for the lower body, key acupressure points, easy Qigong movements, and more. Join me to practice watering the seeds of wisdom, as we apply nature’s lessons to our own lives. Music Credit: “Ebbs and Flows” by Kevin MacLeod, Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0
