dditional sessions for practice and polishing: January 23 and 30

Qigong (chee' gung) - In Qigong, the Kidneys are considered the foundation of our health. They support the

functions of the other organs/organ systems. The “Kidneys” are more than the physical

organs. They are a group of structures and functions in the body that also include the

bones, ears and brain.

Winter is the season when the Kidneys are more active

energetically, a time when they are more sensitive to injury and to healing.

You are invited to participate in this series of classes where, employing movement,

regulated breathing and mental intention, you will learn gentle exercises and

meditations that are beneficial for the Kidneys, including:

• Two sets of centuries-old exercises—one for the kidneys, one for the bones;

• The essential exercise for winter;

• A meditation that nourishes the major energy reservoirs in the body and develops the pathway that connects them;

• Another meditation that develops the major energy pathway on the outside of the body;

• Practical suggestions for your winter diet.

The exercises can be adjusted for a variety of abilities. Learn and practice in class, then

continue your practice at home with a detailed handout. Two optional sessions are

available for continued practice and refinement.

$49 for all 4 classes

Additional Sessions on January 23 and 30 $10/each
