Qigong for Winter | Kidney Health and Vitality

As the world slows and nature slumbers, winter invites us to do the same. In Traditional Chinese Medicine and Qigong philosophy, winter embodies the Water element, a time for deep introspection, rest, and nurturing our inner warmth.
Join Master Vivien Chao in this gentle Qigong practice as we explore the profound benefits of harnessing the winter energy. We'll move with a few forms from the graceful flow of the Shi Ba Shi - Tai Chi Qigong 18 Form, nourishing our kidneys, the essential reservoir of vitality and longevity.
Let the mesmerizing cascade of Sahalie Falls set the stage for your practice. Feel its powerful and serene descent mirror the flow of your own breath and energy. As the water crashes and swirls, feel any stagnant energy within you gently dislodging, giving way to a sense of calm and renewal.
This practice is your invitation to step into a vibrant stillness, cultivate your inner fire, and emerge from winter stronger, more rejuvenated, and ready to bloom.
