​Ascending yang: A Wood/Spring Daoist Flow Workshop
​

ascending yang: a wood/spring daoist flow workshop

Saturday, March 12, 2022, 16:00 - 18:30 GMT 
Online via Zoom (recording available for 7 days)

In the words of Leo Tolstoy, 'Spring is the time of projects and plans.' In the spring, we climb out of the cold, winter months and often feel ready to take on life with renewed vigor. If, however, we're unprepared for it, the outburst of energy can sometimes knock us off balance and be a shock – like we just want to crawl back under a warm duvet! This workshop will explore ways to align with the energy of spring using qigong practices focusing on the element of wood, associated in Chinese medicine with spring, growth, resourcefulness, flexibility and vision.  It will also incorporate gentle yoga and somatic movement principles that focus on the health of our tendons, which is the tissue associated with wood.
 
In this workshop we'll explore:
  • Wood phase tendencies for balance and imbalance.
  • Flexibility and what it means in movement.
  • Qigong practices for the liver and gall bladder – organs that associate in Chinese medicine with rhythm, dreams, visions, and plans.

About Daoist Flow: Daoist Flow explores the interconnectedness of yoga, qigong, somatics and natural movement with the underlying intention to touch in on our innate qualities of compassion and inner joy. It begins from the idea that everything is part of the whole, a belief found within Yogic, Buddhist and Daoist traditions. Aligning with this wholeness enables us to discover our full potential and inherent wisdom, fluidity and ease within ourselves.

Open to all levels of practitioners.

Donations/Dana: This workshop is offered based on dana, which is a Buddhist word and teaching that means generosity.  Dana works on the idea of reciprocity and mutual support.  With my teachings, I will offer what I hope will best support, guide and nourish you in your practice. In exchange, you are invited to give an offering of dana that reflects the support, guidance and nourishment you feel you have received.  

A suggested dana is £20-30, but please know that this is only a suggestion. If you are experiencing financial hardship, you are welcome to attend this workshop for less; likewise, if you have more financial means and the workshop has offered you something of value, you are welcome to offer more.  

Dana can be given:
1) Via my website (preferred)
2) Via PayPal paypal.me/mimizoomclasses or
3) Using Venmo @Miranda-Kuo-Deemer
