The East Asian practice of Qigong is an excellent example.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Qigong is a practice of dynamic movement, stillness, posture, breath and attention that helps us cultivate embodied awareness. With patience and consistency, qigong is deeply restorative to the mind and body.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Over the course of this series we will practice Qigong together, with the focus on the 3 pillars of qigong practice: <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1) The body<\/p>\n<p>2) The breath<\/p>\n<p>3) The mind<\/p>\n<p>With these foundations in place we will practice a core Qigong sequence that is introduced gradually with a brief meditation at the end of each class to let the exercises settle in the body.
