This first section begins with a five-minute mindfulness meditation practice to help establish a sense of embodied presence, followed by a dynamic vinyasa flow and qigong sequence of sun salutations that will recruit the primary muscles and joints in the body. The use of visualisations and intention from qigong will help release energetic states of imbalance and tension, and set the stage for creating greater ease, openness and balance.
This second section integrates strong standing pose work in horse stance and warrior poses that are combined with fluid, water-based qigong forms. Together, these move toward a state of harmonious balance and steadiness.
Finding Ease – Effortless Effort: This third section offers a gentle flow that will restore and replenish your energy. Qigong practices that blend yin and yang, as well as a juicy hip, twist and backbend sequence will leave you ready for a delicious relaxation in savasana and finish.
