The topic for this month is:
💧 Nourishing the Yin - Slow Flowing Yin of the Winter
Winter is the season of Yin—a time for rest, restoration, and deep nourishment.
In Qigong and Traditional Chinese Medicine, Yin energy is essential for balancing Yang, supporting several vital functions, and cultivating long-term health and vitality. Wintertime is a great season to tonify the Yin energy!
In this Qi Chat, we’ll explore:
- The role of Yin energy in our health
- How to strengthen and replenish Yin through Qigong
- The concept of ‘open and focused’ Qigong practices
- Subtle adjustments to enhance Yin energy in your practice
- A common mistake in Qigong (one we all make!)
Then we will practice the Slow Flowing Yin routine together.
