Description:

" An introduction to human energetic system and how the ancient mystical traditions of India, China, and Europe interweave to create the foundational elements for an integral spiritual practice - the control of the human vessel through postures (asana) + breath control (pranayama) + mental focus (mantra). Includes 2-hour physical practice of Qigong & Yoga that will prepare you for the burn.

There will be an explanation of Traditional Indian Medicine (Yoga/Ayurveda) and Traditional Chinese Medicine (Qi Gong/Taoism), two ancient healing systems over 2000 years old. There will be an exploration on the difference between the Indian Hinduism (Polytheistic) & Chinese Taoism (Monotheistic) theories and how we can integrate these two philosophies into our daily spiritual practice to empower ourselves.

The discussion will then be followed by a 2 hour Yoga & Qi Gong class which will blend together the elements of ancient India (Yoga) and China (Qi Gong) to provide a dynamic moving meditation focused on providing a balance of both Yang (active) and Yin (passive) elements, that will conclude with a healing Yoga Nidra (conscious deep sleep) meditation - leaving you empowered, focused, and energized - ready for the burn and the new year.
