Join us in a exploration of the season of Autumn and the Metal element through the ancient Daoist practice of Qigong.     Based on the natural rhythms of nature qigong allows us to connect with our internal energy and the energy of the natural world we are part of.    Through gentle movements/flows, breath work and meditation we begin to cultivate and move energy and circulation in our bodies helping to strengthen our muscles, joints, bones and spirits.     We will learn about the Five Phases, yin and yang, the importance of intention, how to develop more balance and and health in our lives while exploring the Metal Phase within the Five Phase Daoist Practice.    We will have fun as we tune into our own life energy!

We recommend eating breakfast before the workshop.

This class is very approachable for all experience and mobility levels.    The class is done standing, or in a chair ,and does not require any special equipment or ability.

Lunch will be provided and will correspond with the Season of Autumn and the Element of Metal.
