QTBIPOC QI GONG: Tian Gan
May 20 - Jun 24, 2021, 6-7 PM EST
Tian Gan (Heavenly Stem) Qi Gong is a set of exercises that uses spiraling motions to slowly open up blockages in the spine so that qi can flow freely in the body. The free flowing of qi is important for maintaining our health which can include reducing pain, better body mechanics, increasing range of motion, improving mood, and boosting energy. This set is especially beneficial for anyone who does desk work or who has a history of binding.
Sliding scale is $100 - $200. We will be meeting for one hour a week for 5 weeks. This is an all levels class (no experience necessary), but since the forms are more complex I am teaching this as a series and will not be doing drop-ins. No exchange will be asked from Black and Indigenous participants.

Soothe Strong: Treating Traumatic Injuries with Chinese Medicine
[POSTPONED] March 13-14, 2021, 1-4 PM EST
Chinese medicine developed along side martial arts and also includes battlefield medicine. It is incredibly effective at treating injuries especially when attended to quickly. I will be teaching how to use Chinese medicine principles and topical remedies to support our bodies' healing processes at home. Traumatic injuries can be acute, like a sprained ankle, or chronic like that nagging knee pain some of us get when it rains. Trauma medicine also includes sports injuries as well as surgery recovery and rehabilitation. Each participant will receive a trauma medicine kit created by Wai Ke Botanicals (valued at $62.50). We will also be covering rehabilitative exercises, food medicine, and preventative care. Space is limited to 20 participants. This course is for nonbinary, trans, gender expansive, women who are BIPOC. Click here to register.
