A fresh top of the week smile to you. We’re excited to welcome you back for Qi Gong in April and May! We’ll be diving a bit deeper with the Yang Tai Chi sequence and more TCM theories. Please review your first third of the Yang sequence as well as sequences learned in immersion 1 before we meet.
Below are all the details for the training. We invite you to smile and enjoy your breathing as you read. Please note the new location in the same KOPI campus.

Please bring along your own yoga mat and any props you need to sit on (cushions/bolsters/blocks, etc), and a blanket/shawl to keep warm. We’ll be sitting on the floor on our own yoga mat for the lecture parts of the training.

Your favourite thermos or mug, and your favourite tea. We’ll have the hot water kettle ready as well as some organic herbal tea, if you don’t have a preference.
Water bottle - there is a water filter onsite.
Please layer up and wear comfortable exercise attire as we’ll be moving around quite a bit. Weather permitting (ie no snowstorm) we’ll head out to the pond and mother nature for our practice.
