QIGONG

It involves using exercises to optimize energy within the body, mind, and spirit, to improve and maintain health and well-being. –https://www.nccih.nih.gov/health/qigong-what-you-need-to-know#:~:text=
Experience the transformative power of Qigong in just 15 minutes! Cultivate inner peace, release tension, and rejuvenate your system with Daily Energy Recharge, led by YOQI® yoga + Qigong school founder Marisa Cranfill. This invigorating session helps you recharge by focusing on the core principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). In TCM, fatigue and stress impact three vital elements: water, fire, and earth. This YOQI® sequence targets these elements to help you regain balance and vitality. Stress and cortisol accumulate in the kidneys and adrenal glands, depleting our energy. Daily Energy Recharge is crafted to clear this stress, allowing your energy to flow freely. By boosting kidney yang and the fire element, you’ll experience a revitalized sense of well-being. Grounding throughout the routine reconnects you with the earth element, further nurturing and supporting kidney energy. Filmed in Koh Samui, Thailand. Enjoy! –https://www.youtube.com/@yoqi
