Spring Qigong Series: Build Resilience and Strength

Spring Qigong: Build Resilience & Strength

.

Spring is a season of renewal, growth, and forward movement. In Qigong, this time of year corresponds to the Wood element and the return of Yang Qi (the expansive energy of nature). In this special Qigong series, you will be guided through breathwork, gentle warm-ups, and flowing movements to balance the Wood qi — associated with adaptability, strength, and mental clarity.

.

When Wood is out of balance, we may feel anger, frustration or “stuck in the mud”. When Wood is in harmony, we embody kindness, clear direction, and skillful action.

.

In Spring Qigong classes, we explore gentle spiraling and twisting movements to release tension, increase strength and joint mobility, and open space in the body for inspiration and fresh perspective. Stabilizing “Tree” practices promote a sense of grounded stability and balance as we expand into the activity of Spring.

Who It’s For:

All levels are welcome — no experience necessary. Come as you are, and wear clothes that allow you to move freely and comfortably.

About Qigong: Qigong (pronounced “chi-gong”) blends gentle flowing movements, breath, body tapping, and meditation to help clear energy pathways and cultivate healthy “qi”—your natural life-force energy. When qi circulates freely and remains balanced, it supports harmony within the body and mind—promoting vitality, mental clarity, and inner peace.

.

Qigong developed thousands of years ago in ancient China. Savitri teaches from the Five Elements (Wu Xing) Qigong tradition, a branch of Traditional Chinese Medicine. This tradition recognizes that the same forces of nature that shape the seasons also move through us. Through exercises aligned with these natural rhythms, this style of Qigong supports physical health, emotional well-being, and spiritual connection.

Breathing is slow, long, and deep, and movements are gentle and smooth, encouraging relaxation and natural energy flow. The practice is adaptable and accessible, and movements can be easily modified to support each participant.
