Qigong in Rangiora
Weekly "Winter Qigong" course
The energy of Winter encourages us to awaken the "Secret Fire" in the kidneys. The energy slows down, and we nourish our essence.
The Rangiora course is Tuesdays from 10.30am - 11.35am
The course is open for registration. You can start anytime. Booking is essential.
Each season offers different Qigong exercises. Postures are moving or stationary, both standing and sitting.
This is what awaits you in this Qigong course:
- We start with a 10-15 minute Qigong warm-up sequence
- In the 65-minute class we practice an "easy-to-follow" Qigong sequence
- In this 8-week course, you will learn enjoyable Qigong exercises in motion for winter energy. Learn the "Golden Phoenix washes it's Feathers" Qigong
- The last part is a "Stillness"Qigong practice in sitting posture - Duration 5-12 minutes.
In Qigong for the cold season, you strengthen your connection to conscious breathing and prepare your immune system for the cold season.
Learn the ancient breathing technique for balancing kidney energy. Since the kidneys are connected to the ears and hearing, we also focus on "silent Qigong" and listen inwardly. Just as in nature, energy retreats to the roots in winter. ... Nourish the life essence within you
Through mindful movement, breath work, and meditation, we can cultivate a deeper sense of balance, centeredness, and trust in the natural rhythms of life.
- Through the natural, unrestricted postures the meridians or energy channels open more, so the life force "Qi" can circulate freely and increase.
- With daily practice your body will become more supple, conscious and your movements graceful
In Autumn, gather which nourishes and let go which is no longer of use. Winter comes after Autumn, here store what is gathered and rest in stillness.
