Exploring the 'Subtle' in Qigong Movement ~ Let's Practice ☀️
Qigong has many layers to the practice beyond the movement that we see on the surface.

- the basic movements in Qigong (review)
- integrating breath with our movements
- 3 subtle movements that can improve our practice (that we haven't discussed before)
