AVILA BEACH QIGONG WORKSHOPS
Intro to Medical Qigong and 5 Rhythms Qigong
The Gentle, Rhythmic Movements of QiGong:
- Invoke a state of calmness

- Improve focus and vitality
- Improve balance and coordination
- Enhance the immune system
- Help prevent injury and illness while also accelerating recovery from injury and illness
- Improve cardiovascular, respiratory, cognitive, circulatory, lymphatic and digestive functions
.
One of the long-term benefits of practicing QiGong consistently is how it re-establishes the body/mind/soul connection. When these three aspects of our being are integrated, it encourages a positive outlook on life and helps eliminate harmful attitudes and behaviors.
Level One: Intro to Medical QiGong
Qi (energy) Gong (work) emphasizes the importance of adding mind intent and breathing techniques to physical movements. When these dimensions are added, the benefits of exercise increase exponentially. Practicing Medical QiGong cultivates and circulates the internal medicine within our bodies while eliminating stagnant energies.

Level Two: 5 Rhythms Qigong
Join us for a journey around the Sun in this experiential workshop. It is known that the center of our solar system is the Sun and that the rhythm and flow of nature is governed by Earths relationship to the Sun. In this 5 Rhythms Qigong workshop we will explore the nature of this relationship through the structure of the 5 elements and their rhythms in a 24 hour, annual and human life cycle.
We will learn how to cultivate and nurture a conscious relationship with these elements, the organ systems, meridians, senses, tastes, colors, characters and sounds they are associated with.
Working with the 5 Rhythms can give insight into:
- How to eat on a daily cycle to maintain qi
- How to eat seasonally for harmonization with nature
- How to move your body for each season annually
- The appropriate exercise for each season of your life cycle
- When to take action, when to rest
- How to live in harmony with nature
- Respiration, digestion & elimination
We've all heard the saying, "timing is everything", it's true. Understanding how the cycles of time affect your mind, body and emotions is the key to longevity. It is one of the most important and yet least understood aspects of owning and maintaining a body that one can poses.
