QiFlow, a hybrid exercise program, interweaves the most powerful and effective elements of TaiChi, Qi Gong and breathwork into one seasonal flow. Carefully curated to align with the four main seasons and one transitional season, the exercises incorporate the ancient Chinese theory of the Five Elements.

In the ancient Five Element Theory of Chinese medicine, there is a short window of time when the vibrant energies of spring/summer transition into the more introspective energies of the fall/winter.
This special transitional period is represented by the Earth Element, which is one of balance, harmony and nourishment.
In this flow, the Qi Gong exercises incorporate the spleen+ stomach energy system, and grounding earth energy in order to help us stay in harmony with nature’s rhythm.
Sign up to hear from us about seasonal tips, and course offerings + workshops that enhance wellness of the mind+body+sprit.
