Introduction to Medical Qigong

Join Joanne and Jim for this unique, interactive online experience where you will be introduced to the roots of medical Qigong during this 15-hour intensive program. The class includes both lectures and practice sessions to deepen your knowledge and experience the flows of Qi throughout your body and in areas that are specifically addressed within the lectures.

In this workshop we will address the Western & Eastern anatomy and energetic characteristics of the Yin and Yang organs, the alignment of the Five Elements within the body and map the paths of Yin & Yang Meridians. We will review the fundamental and more advanced Qigong Cleansing, Nourishing and Harmonizing exercises, with additional details specific to the Yin & Yang organs.

We will practice cultivating Qi through various techniques, including:

• Breathing techniques
• Postures
• Meditations
• Guided imagery

The goal is to increase your knowledge and promote the Self-Healing aspects of Qigong through practice to enhance your health, prevent disease, and address illness.

This course is eligible for 15 hours credits toward the JOY of Yoga 300 Hour Teacher Training.
