What I've Been Learning from QiGong Lately

Today's episode is a shorter one, where I talk about my recent adventures learning QiGong. I've been practicing lots of QiGong over the last few months, so I thought I would share a little bit about this movement practice and what I'm learning from it. If you aren't familiar, QiGong is a mindful movement and energy practice from China – it's considered a branch of Chinese Medicine. I'll cover some of the basics of what QiGong practice entails, as well as the benefits I've been noticing. QiGong has been an amazing complement to the Yin Yoga that I practice and teach, since they have common roots in Chinese Medicine and Taoism. It's also been a great way to support my nervous system and rebuild my energy after a year of major changes. Listen in, and be inspired to stimulate your own "beginner's mind!"
