Sam Muller - 5 Elements Qigong

The class will look at the five elemental phases of Daoism, their relationship to the organs and the cycle of the seasons. We will use simple exercises to work experientially with the elements through movement. As we are in Autumn our focus for the session will be on exploring the Metal and Water elements and nourishing the lungs and kidneys, attuning us to the energetic quality of the season and preparing us for the transition into Winter.
