Tian Gan qi gong for QTBIPOC
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 has a history of binding.
This is a live virtual event, not recorded, especially designed as a liberation practice. Class is one hour on Sundays for 8 weeks. The movements can be done seated or standing with modifications. Energy exchange: $160-$240 for the series, $10-20 drop ins for students who have completed the full course.
Dates for fall cohort 2022 are October 2 - November 20, 2:30-3:30 PM EST. Registration closes September 30.

5 Phase Qi Gong FOR QTBIPOC
There are things we can do to optimize our bodies' resources towards immunity. There are things we can do to take care of ourselves and each other as we struggle for liberation and survive pandemics. In Chinese medicine there are 5 seasons. Each season is associated with a particular element (or phase) and several correspondences like color, organs, bodily fluids, sounds, flavors, etc. Why is this important? Chinese medicine, like other traditional medicines, is nature-based. Living in relationship to the natural world is a way to live in deeper relationship with ourselves, our communities, and decolonization.
Qi gong, cultivation of vital energy, is a low-impact movement practice that originates from China and draws on martial arts forms. There are a wide range of benefits one can experience including calming the nervous system, reducing pain, increasing energy, and improving mood.

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.
