What a 5 element qigong session includes

Influenced by Taoist wisdom drawn from nature and TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine), this qigong (qi=energy; gong=cultivation) session enfolds a holistic approach including 8 brocades and gentle movement for opening energy pathways of the body based on a season or emotional and psychological theme in need of release (i.e. anger or sadness) or cultivation (joy and equanimity). Ends with seated or reclined meditation. All skill levels welcome.
