Awaken, Invigorate, and Increase Vitality for the Hands and Feet

In eastern modalities it has been suggested that the body moves like a tree where the arms are the branches, the torso the trunk, and the feet are roots which need to be cared for and “watered”. Having healthy hands and the feet are important to our quality of life and are seen within certain modalities as containing not only meridians (lines of energy), but pressure points or “portals” to the other parts of the body including our organs.

Medical Qigong can offer a variety of ways to support the tissues, bones and joints, meridians, and chakras to the hands and feet. The hands and feet are vulnerable to problems like tension patterns, arthritis, tendinitis and injury especially as we get older. Using Qigong to gently stretch, massage, and energize the hands can help relieve pain and stagnation in the joints and improve our overall health as well as allowing us to feel centered and grounded which support our balance and emotional well being. This  gentle workshop will invigorate your hands and feet increasing energy flow, circulation, and vitality as well as creating awareness through sensation. 

Join Joanne for this unique workshop that focuses on supporting our hands and feet. We will spend our time nourishing the tissues and joints through soft tissue manipulation, small, repetitive movements, and Qigong flows. We will finish with a restorative yoga practice to allow for integration so our hands and feet can receive the full benefits of the practice.

All levels or practitioners are welcome.
