6 Week class
JADE BODY is a venerated qigong form for increasing the flexibility of the spine and boosting the immune system. The exercises of this form are inspired by the movements of the turtle (for longevity), the crane (for expansiveness), and the dragon (for release of blockages.)
According to Ancient Chinese Medical texts, hundreds of diseases come from impingements of the spine. A fluid spine, on the other hand is key for a long and healthy life!
Jade Body is a wonderful form for exercising the spine and releasing blocked energy that may be keeping you from grace of movement and good health!
In this 6 week class, we open the heart area, breathe deeply and stretch, generating flow of qi through all the channels of the body. We also cleanse the body, and generate fluidity in the spine by doing movements that unlock certain points. These points are also critical points in the body’s defense system, thus regular practice of Jade Body boosts your immune system.
Learning this form is perfect in the spring to help reboot your immune system after the winter’s pressures on the immune system.
Jade is considered a very pure and stable, solid substance; it symbolizes the feeling in your body when you are in excellent health.
The exercises of Jade Body are quite simple and can be modified for all abilities.
Class will also include sitting meditation, so feel free to bring a cushion for meditation.
