Where there is growth, development, expansion, birth, rebirth. Humans are like trees, we root, rise upward towards the light, sway and shake our limbs which are like the tree’s branches. Wood element is associated with the liver and gallbladder channels. The liver has many jobs; it's the hardest working organ. Its believed to have as much as 500 functions, like detoxification, circulation of blood, mediate flexibility and strength of the connective tissues like tendons and ligaments. Our mental and emotional health is an indicator of how our liver is functioning. Together we will explore various movements to support our liver and gallbladder channels as well as eyes, tendons, ligaments, lungs, kidneys, heart and stomach for maintaining a healthier and happier you! Led by IIQTC Senior Trainer, Sharon Infante ☯️Wu Xing or 5 Phases: Wu Xing or the Five Phases Qigong is a practice that allows you to focus on balancing the energies of Wood, water, Fire, Earth and Metal within the body. This practice combines one Qigong form for each of the five elements along with breath work and a basic knowledge of each of the five elements in terms of meridian pathways , positive and negative emotional influences, that will help balance and harmonize the organ systems of the body. Very much like the Ba duan jin or Eight Brocade that helps us harmonize the bodies immune system , Wu Xing can help the organ systems of the body stay balanced and help eliminate both emotional and physical blockages. Led by IIQTC Senior Trainer, Vince Sauter ☯️Dragon Qigong: In Chinese culture the dragon represents strength, courage, wisdom, harmony and good fortune. The Dragon Qigong practice helps to access the powerful energy (qi) of the dragon. Following a gentle warm up, we will practice easy to learn rotating, spiraling and flowing movements that strengthen joints, tendons, ligaments and fascia. Internal organs including the lungs, heart, kidneys and diaphragm will also benefit while enhancing strength and flexibility. Led by our Board President, Diane Ramftl ☯️Five Element Mind Body Fitness: An Introduction to aerobic qigong: Drawing from both a Western and Eastern understanding of fitness this practice is rooted in Xing Yi Quan (form intent boxing) one of the three major Chinese internal (soft style) martial arts. Western models of fitness prioritize measurable results of fitness as understood by both physiology and exercise science. Eastern models of fitness prioritize all ways of knowing into a practice resulting in an integrated body, mind, and spirit. You are invited to see what happens when those priorities are combined into a fun and safe practice. You will experience moving in a different way that connects the mind to the body, and will be encouraged to practice in your comfort zone. Brief information sharing will be followed by practicing selections from the Five Forms, constituting a complete five element (phases) system. This introduction is totally suitable for anyone who regularly walks or engages in other fitness routines. Led by IIQTC Senior Trainer, David Lehman ☯️Embodying Rhythmic Balance: Experience the power of moving from center and cultivating centered responsiveness so you can move through life with effortless energy and restful vibrancy. By integrating ancient principles with intentional movement, you’ll expand your ability to take action with efficiency, effectiveness, and ease.
