Energy Gates is our most fundamental qigong set. Its practice naturally stimulates the water elemental energy of your body in accord with Chinese five-element theory.

Through a standing meditation practice, and the Cloud Hands, three swings, and spine stretch exercises, you’ll learn to let your energy flow downward—like water—toward the earth.

You’ll also learn to "dissolve" your body’s tension and pain, as well as how to maintain healthy posture for maximum energy flow.

You’ll learn a Standing Meditation practice to help you be present to, feel, and relax into your body, while cultivating healthy posture.

You’ll learn the fundamentals of the Clouds Hands exercise for more effortless movement, and the Back Release exercise to relax all your back muscles.

Additionally, we will begin to work on developing relaxed, natural breathing - one of the most powerful tools for calming your mind and learning to feel deep inside your body.
