DAOIST FLOW  --  Somatically-based yoga and fluid qigong practices taught through the framework of mindfulness
​​​4:30 - 6:00 pm UK time
​(8:30 am PST, 11:30 am EST, 11:30pm Hong Kong)   ​ 

Open class starting August 29 (no class September 26 or November 21)

This gentle 90 minute class will explore mindfulness and somatic movement practices through the framework of qigong and yoga āsana. It is advised to take part each week, as the classes will build progressively. If you miss a week, you will have 7 days to review the recordings. Each week, the movement practices will be repeated so that you will become more fluent in the movements as well as be given a platform from which to deepen the practices and themes. 

Themes we will be covering include the Buddha's teachings on the Four Foundations of Mindfulness, and how these can be embodied and deepened.  We will spend approximate three weeks on each foundation, building progressively through the Autumn months.
  1. Mindfulness of Body (Aug 29 - Sep 12)
  2. Mindfulness of Vedana/Feeling tone (Sep 19 - Oct 10) 
  3. Mindfulness of Thoughts and Emotions  (Oct 17 - 31)
  4. Mindfulness of Dhamma/Dharma (Nov 7 - 28)

Using yoga and qigong sequences, we will explore these foundations through five primary somatic principles and movement patterns. 
  1. Breathing (celluar/internal and external respiration patterns) 
  2. Yielding 
  3. Naval radiation/moving from centre/dantian
  4. Organic integration
  5. Spinal patterns

Class structure:
  • Introduction to themes
  • Breath +  joint mobilisation and release
  • Yoga āsana and fluid qigong forms (including Qi in the Four Directions, Looking for Moon and Sea, Micro and Macrocosmic Orbit) 
  • Relaxation
  • Meditation

Open to all levels.
