Winter Qigong Series
Total Series Time: 1 hour 11 minutes
During the three Winter months, Yin is dominant over Yang. The days are shorter and colder. All living things slow down. It is important to conserve energy and build strength. The organs associated with winter are the kidneys and bladder. Chinese medicine views the kidneys as the storehouse of energy that sends warmth and energy to every cell in the body. The winter qigong practices were designed to support the kidneys, keeping you strong and healthy through the cold winter months.
