Trayfoot Studio Spring 2020 Schedule
Mondays
10:00 a.m.–Blended Seasonal Healing Qigong* and Meditation
This is a wonderful class for those who want to improve or maintain their health naturally with the seasons. As the seasons flow gently we do to, adding movements specific to the current season to basic 5 element movements. This helps our body adapt to the changes of each season and avoid seasonal ailments like colds and flu. For example, because fall puts extra stress on the lungs, we do movements specific to strengthening and healing our respiratory system. In the spring, we work on supporting the liver, etc.
After we complete the movements we have a guided meditation and do some qigong self-massage. While you do not have to attend every Monday, those who do usually reap more benefits. Everyone from 18 to 100 is welcome in this class…no experience necessary!

*About Seasonal Qigong
Think healthy lungs, heart, liver etc. and breast cancer prevention! I consider this my “flu shot”!
In the Spring, we work predominantly on healing movements for the liver and associated organs, in the Summer we focus on the heart, in the Fall the lungs/respiratory system, and in the Winter we work on kidney/bladder/adrenal health.
Although we focus on major organ systems each season, we also work on all systems in each class.
Start your week off right with Blended Seasonal Qigong!
