Each season offers different Qigong exercises.
Autumn with the Metal Element: the element of letting go and reflection
The energy of autumn encourages us to breath deeply. The energy slows down after summer. The linked organs are the kidneys and the sexual organs, the opening are the ears. The water energy from winter represents the state of closing and storage. It encourages us to go deeper inwardly.
Learn "Stillness Qigong": Here we open acupuncture points of the two major meridians. "Kidney Breathing" strengthen and at the same time relaxes the kidneys. They are important for our vitality and health.
Learn different movements from Tai Chi to create an open free flow of energy in the body. We balance the whole organism and support centering and calm.
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 the 8-week term you learn enjoyable Qigong practices in motion for Winter Qigong
- The last part is a "Stillness"Qigong practice in sitting posture - Duration 5-12 minutes.
- To Winter belongs also the bones and the hair and the colour is the blue. The movements are in a soft, flowing rhythm, which can improve the respiratory, blood circulation and vitality. The tendons, fascia, ligaments and muscles get massaged and the breath gets deeper.
- 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
