Flow Through the Seasons
4-Seasons Qigong is a gentle, mindful practice that supports your health through the natural cycles of the year. Each season invites us to work with a different energy—cultivating strength, grounding, renewal, balance, and emotional steadiness. These slow, intentional movements help regulate the nervous system, build body awareness, and bring clarity and calm into everyday life.
