Using the Energy Cultivation practice of Qigong, this workshop will reset and rebalance the entire nervous system. We will explore how the spine can move, vertebra by vertebra, in different directions and on its own axis. Combining slow and mindful movement with the breath and more dynamic practice, this workshop will connect the body and your awareness to the motion of the spine, cultivating intention along the way.
We will follow the journey of the Governing Vessel meridian, whose main pathway ascends through the spinal column, nourishing the spine, brain and marrow. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the spine is seen as the material manifestation of Governing Vessel Energy, hence its importance in the practice of Qigong.
