Spring Seasonal Qi - ZOOM
2026-03-21 10:00 - 11:00
Now is the season of leaving the Yin of Winter and embracing the Yang of Spring. Spring suggests renewal and regeneration, a burst of new energy that can bring both negative and positive change. Think of the joy of a new job, moving house or retiring, and the stresses that may come with each. With the gentle movements of Qigong and Tai Chi we can move through this new season with expectancy, energized to align with the best of what this season offers.
Wood represents the element of Spring, when a very active energy brings growth and progress. Branching out may come with visions and the need for wise decision making, which calls for flexibility and open heartedness. The color green symbolizes growth and new possibilities.
The organs of the spring are liver and gallbladder. In traditional Chinese medicine, the role of the liver is the smooth flow of Qi throughout the body. When we’re not aligned with what we’re doing, we feel stuck. Thus the liver energy is out of balance, anger appears, with all its attending emotions of impatience, frustration and stress. We may notice this in neck pain or digestive issues.
Holding onto anger causes our liver energy to stagnate. Anger harms no one but ourselves as we feel unable to move ahead. Spring can be a time to notice this and release it as we see nature bursting forth in exuberant color and growth. With that release comes planning and execution of our visions, with the gallbladder in charge of decision-making. Creativity flows and a time of expansion follows.
Movement encourages the smooth flow of Liver Qi so please join us.

Summer Seasonal Qi Zoom-Free 2026
2026-06-20 10:00 - 11:00
You are warmly invited to join us in a celebration
Summer is the season when nature expands, bursting with mature fruit, abundance, and color. There’s a joy and happy energy in summer that is contagious.
Fire is the element of summer and directs us to shine our unique Self in this world. It helps bring us to our heights, moving us to the fulfillment of our plans & dreams. Fire expands outward and up, teaching us how to move from the heart
out into our world.
The heart and small intestines are the organs represented in this season. When we are balanced in summer, joy, love and contentment are present. When we are out of balance, we may find ourselves scattered, insecure or discouraged. It might look like a schedule that’s too full, as we try to fit in way more than the hours allow. Or perhaps skipping meals and exercise routines because of sudden inspiration for something else.
In summer we are encouraged to balance Fire within us and to enjoy abundance. We invite you to join our Team members in Summer Seasonal Qi to learn and move in ways that fulfill.
