The QiFlow Program

cultivate, harmonize + tonify your energy with the seasons

The Ancient Art of Longevity for Mind, Body and Spirit

  • A Life-Enhancing Wellness Journey:
    Rooted in the ancient practices of Tai Chi, Qi Gong, and mindful breathwork, QiFlow harmonizes mind, body, and spirit with the shifting energies of nature.


  • Guided by Ancient Wisdom:
    Drawing on the Five Element Theory of Chinese Medicine, each seasonal QiFlow aligns with nature's cycles—spring, summer, late summer, autumn, and winter—to support vitality and balance.


  • Two Unique Paths per Season:
    Each season offers two pathways tailored to your needs and goals:

  1. QiFlow Essentials for a foundational approach to enhance balance and wellbeing.
  2. QiFlow PLUS for a deeper practice with intermediate-level techniques, extended meditations, and intricate flow sequences.


  • Personalized for Your Level and Interest:
    Whether you’re nurturing resilience with Essentials or deepening your journey with PLUS, each QiFlow experience is designed to reduce stress, open energy pathways, and restore inner calm.


  • Reconnect and Renew Through Seasonal Alignment:
    Every cycle invites renewal, helping to clear stagnant energy and align you with the rhythms of nature, enhancing clarity, resilience, and a sense of renewal with each season.


QiFlow Seasonal Courses

QiFlow courses are offered 5 times per year,  seasonally aligned with the elements of the Five Element Theory of Chinese Medicine. Leda teaches the virtual classes LIVE for those interested in interacting with Leda,  and also offers the option for participants to access the recording of the classes for the duration of the course.

Spring is the time for renewal and growth. It is a period that is associated to the Wood Element and the energy system of the liver+gallbladder.


The exercises in the springtime flow promote regeneration by releasing tension blocked in ligaments and tendons and help promote energy flow in the liver energy system.   It is a perfect time to release blockages and renew our life energy.

FIRE: SUMMER FLOW

6/23/2024 - 8/12/2024

8 week course

Mondays @6:00-7:00pm

Sundays @1:00-2:00pm 


Summer is the time for expansion. This period is associated with the Fire Element and the energy system of the heart+small intestine. The light of the radiant sun is most vibrant and the natural world is at its peak of growth. 


To harness and align with this incredible energy, the summer flow incorporates exercises to uplift, energize and offers a deep connection to the natural world. 


Because heat and fire are associated with summer, the exercises are designed to cool and calm the heart energy, mindfully balancing the body’s need to over-expend.

METAL: FALL FLOW

EARTH: SEASONAL TRANSITION FLOW

10/27/2024 - 12/15/2024

Fall is the time to let go and release all that is no longer needed. An inward energetic shift begins. This season is associated with the Metal Element.


 The series of exercises in the fall flow are formulated to strengthen and nourish the lung + large intestine energy systems and counters the emotions of grief and sadness while cultivating the energy of courage.  


By developing an awareness of your alignment with nature, you will begin to appreciate your own pull inward toward self-reflection, learn to shed the unnecessary and cultivate your path forward by strengthening what lies within.

EARTH: SEASONAL TRANSITION FLOW

Mondays @6:00-7:00pm

Sundays @1:00-2:00pm 


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.
