Kristina is interested in our connection with gravity, both as support and resistance. We explore this through some standing meditation and work with an invisible partner. We also warm up our joints and nourish our fire through doing the Wei chi together.

There is a focus on the seasons, while doing the Wei Chi (fire qigong) during the end of the water-season (winter) and the beginning of the season of wood (spring), we reflect on how the elements support and nourish each other.

Kristina’s main focus in this class is on attending to all those elements (‘Internals’) that make up our being, and giving space for each to express themselves as they would want. And having enjoyed such freedom, the constituent parts of our being may share greater harmony of expression during those times when involved in a collaborative venture such as playing the Form.

Kristina demonstrates movements for loosening and softening the body and then takes us through two Qi Gong forms: Wei Chi and Ba Duan Jin (yin form); and ‘The Seven Steps of Buddha’ – a sequence of movements from the Tai Chi Long Form.
