Yin Yoga Teacher Training: Qigong & Lower Arm/Leg Anatomy (60 hours) 

 Qigong is a branch of Chinese medicine, just like acupuncture and herbal medicine. From the Chinese medical perspective, all illnesses is ultimately due to a disharmony of yin and yang.

This disharmony can manifest in countless ways, like depression, cancer, hypertension, etc.
The body is intelligent, and it will naturally guide the energy wherever it needs to go, just like it will naturally heal a cut. We don’t have to do anything except get the energy flowing, and then allow it to flow.

Learn how to incorporate qigong into your Yin Yoga practice with our one and only Qigong module for 2021-2022.
