Qi Gong is based in Chinese medicine. Understanding this system distills down to one foundational idea: movement creates circulation and circulation enhances health. In Qi Gong Foundations we’ll work with this principle in innovative ways, learning a vocabulary of simple movement patterns that create the basis for many traditional Qi Gong forms. Our emphasis is on developing a sensory experience of these external movements and internal circulations, rather than on appearance. We’ll begin each class by settling into our bones, learning to rely on the proprioceptive intelligence of our skeletal system rather than maintaining a posture dominated by muscle tension. We’ll explore a different foundational movement each week, ending with a few minutes of free play and standing meditation. The broader application of Qi Gong is to promote the body’s natural self-healing capacity, and this class is designed to enhance your understanding of movement as medicine. Join us!
