Moving Seasonally, Spring to Summer
10 class series
Fridays, March 29 - May 31
11:30am-12:30pm Eastern / 8:30am-9:30am Pacific
Online, live classes with recordings.
This series will focus on the lymphatic system, the digestive and metabolic systems, and emotional integration through this simple, profound movement practice that includes medical qigong, daoist theory, and plant medicine. We’ll work with Dao Yin yang sheng gong, the 8 brocades, and Nei gong sets to guide us into this moment. It may sound heady, but we’ll lead with the body, and be inspired by our landscapes. Practicing from your own home, especially outside, can be a wondrous experience.
This class is open to all levels of experience and ability. Recordings included and available throughout the cycle as well as weekly emails highlighting the content.
Cost: sliding scale $160 / $130 / $100 / $80
If you live with privilege (due to race, age, or wealth), by paying on the highest tier you are supporting equity in embodiment and radical self-care practices. The highest tier is priced less than the average yoga class, and this offering includes a recording to support ongoing practice (without the expense-both financial and environmental-of the plastic mat.) If you are unable to pay anything, please reach out for alternative ways to reciprocate and to receive a complimentary scholarship of any amount.
what students have said:
“(this class has) become a mainstay, especially in these times, but also in helping to heal some old wounds. Its also quite wonderful to wash my bone marrow!” -Kate
“This continues to be a wonderfully timely and healing practice for me in my life right now. This class in particular gave me an experience of flow and integration, calmness with energy that is hard to put into words! I have no doubt about the benefits of this meditative movement for my mind/body/spirit. It is an added gift to have the recording!” - Tina
“Your classes do so much for my spirit in these challenging and lonely times. And at the end when we welcomed all 4 directions of the compass, I felt the 4 winds gently wrapping me in their cloaks, comforting, supporting my spirit as we all stand and face this uncertain future.” - Cindy
“just want you to know how much i have been enjoying the classes on friday morning. it is like my whole body gets to breathe with the world - what a beautiful opportunity at this time.” -Rachel
“What is rooted is easy to nourish.
What is recent is easy to correct.
What is brittle is easy to break.
What is small is easy to scatter.
Prevent trouble before it arises.
Put things in order before they exist.
The Giant pine tree
Grows from a tiny sprout.
The journey of ten thousand miles
Starts from beneath your feet.”
-Tao te Ching
