3 BODY QIGONG FOR SPRING - Class Description
FINALLY! Spring is here! Time to wake up from our winter slumber and follow nature’s path of rebirth and growth. As we follow the 5 Element Theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine, we begin focusing on our liver and gallbladder and the element of wood. During this season, as all of nature begins to wake up and grow, we may feel the power of earth’s energy throw us out of balance. This can make us feel a bit spacy and overwhelmed and we may feel anger and irritability become more prominent at this time.
During this session, we will practice movements to help keep our body and emotions grounded, balanced, and harmonized through additional movements for our liver and gallbladder as well as focusing on our lower dantian. We will continue with our full-body movements to stay balanced and harmonized, with more attention placed on the new Spring movements.
All ages are welcome. Please bring a mat as some movements will be on the floor. (Modifications will be offered if you can’t go on the mat).
*SPECIAL ADDED INSTRUCTIONAL CLASS
This class will focus on showing you the new movements we will be practicing in the next session, reviewing some older movements as well as answering any questions you have about the tapping, movements and meditations in each class. I will also give you some information about the spring season (according to Traditional Chinese medicine, 5 element theory) and how it relates to why we practice seasonally.
If you sign up for the 7-week session, this class is free. Drop-in for $15. This class will be recorded and available for one week.

THESE CLASSES ARE FOR EVERYONE...ALL LEVELS. IF YOU ARE A BEGINNER, GIVE IT A TRY! You just may be surprised how it makes you feel! This is what some have said about these classes:
“Your Qigong class has helped me stretch my muscles and self-adjust my joints. Being a Fibromyalgia sufferer, this helps keep me pain-free. I become stronger the longer I am in your class! “
“Since starting Qigong with David during the pandemic, my health has improved. I am more flexible, I can breathe deeper, my core has been strengthened and I love the meditations. I would highly recommend this class as David has a wonderful teaching style.”
“What a worthwhile hour spent rejuvenating and clearing energy. I didn’t know what Qigong was when I signed up for it but I felt welcomed and comfortable and after I felt both relaxed and a sense of well-being.”
"David has a consistent calming, engaging, and caring style of teaching, which allows any level of student to enjoy his class. I’m very grateful to have access to his class from the comfort of my Zoom classroom. "
"I appreciate how David crafts each class. There are some parts that stay the same to move the energy. However, he adds something different to every class. He is mindful of the diversity of the group, and offers other poses when someone might not be able to do one. I also enjoyed how he adds a few minutes of "free movements" and a short meditation towards the end of the class. He always has time for questions at the end of the session."
