Summer Qigong (6-week course)
Marketa Foley

Amidst the tumultuous chaos in the outer world, what would it be like to cultivate peace within your own heart? Could inner re-regulation and nurturing of internal peace create an anchor point for re-regulation in the outer world? In this course, we will explore Qigong practices that support and balance the heart, the organ known in Traditional Chinese Medicine as the “empress” or “emperor” of the body. Drawing from Qigong moving practices (Animal Frolics) and Qigong self healing techniques, we will cultivate qualities of spaciousness, stability, peace and ease within our hearts. Resting into Qigong breathing practices, we will allow the benefits of our balanced heart to naturally spread to the entire “kingdom” of our body and perhaps beyond.
