Summer Qigong + Sound Bath
Sunday September 13 at 10am | Grateful Yoga; Evanston
Qigong is a Chinese healing art that uses breathing, movement, visualization and focused intention to circulate qi (energy/life force). It helps revitalize the body and supports well-being. This style of qigong features continuous gentle movements, tapping to awaken qi meridian lines, and guided meditative imagery to mirror the way nature flows.
Lisa created the Summer Qigong practice to bring a joyful and nourishing flow during the most yang season of the year. Traditional Chinese Medicine associates Summer with the element Fire, stoking love and joy that are embodied in the functions of the Heart and Small Intestine. It is an auspicious time to focus on movement and play; express our Yang Qi to the fullest; and support our expansion, vitality, and transformation.
As we move into Late Summer, we weave in the grounding qualities of the Earth element, associated with the Spleen and Stomach. Our practice shifts toward nourishment, centering, and integration, allowing the energy we’ve cultivated to settle, digest and find greater stability within.
The workshop will conclude with a 10-minute sound bath, where participants can luxuriate in vibratory delight as Lisa fills the room with crystal singing bowls, chimes, Native American flute and vocal tones.
