Weekend class – Taught in English
Women of all ages are welcome to this class. Women go through different life phases and changes. We can positively support these phases with Taoist exercises. Men and women are not only physically different beings, we are also mentally, energetically and spiritually different. The old taoist masters saw this and developed different practices for men and women.
In our Yang-orientated modern society it can be very exhausting for the emancipated woman to retain her inner Yin essence. We are living mostly in double and triple roles (lover, mother, and working woman), robbing our bodies of vitality. With the practice of the Healing Tao we can learn to retain and to strengthen our kidney Qi, to transform our Jing Qi and to nourish our inner water and fire.
Female health problems such as PMS, dysmenorrhea, hypermenorrhea, endometriosis, PCOS, infertility, post-pill-amenorrhea, menopause problems, and others can be positively influenced. We can become more conscious of the internal energetic movements in our bodies during the cycle or when the cycle stops. We can learn which exercises or lifestyle choices can help us, so that our hormones stay in balance and natural femininity can grow. Simultaneously, inner stress can be reduced and we can build up resources, to master daily life with our femininity. Arriving in your own inner center happens naturally, mostly all by itself.
We will dive into the basic practices of the Healing Tao, such as the Inner Smile, Six Healing Sounds and the Microcosmic Orbit. The female practices such as breast massage, ovarian breathing, and the egg exercise refine the sexual energy. All the meditations are partnered with movement Qi Gong and theoretical introduction to Taoist philosophy. All exercises will be practiced in a safe and respectful environment. Your own boundaries of intimacy will never be stepped on.
Please bring comfortable clothes for moving your body, grippy socks or indoor shoes, a scarf/blanket and drinking water with you. The classroom is over 50 square meters and is well ventilated.
