We open with a quick standalone warm-up — joints, breath, spine — the kind of thing you actually have time for before heading out the door. Then we settle into a full class built around one idea: your nervous system is the thread connecting everything. The qigong, the floor work, the abdominal series — it all keeps coming back to creating healthy glide through the spinal cord and out into the body. Water element qigong is in here too, which transmutes stress into calm in a way that's hard to explain until you feel it.
The warm-up sequence is genuinely standalone — hits every joint and gets the breathing moving in about seven minutes
Kidney breathing flips the usual pelvic curl cue — inhale to suction rather than exhale to compress — which creates a completely different experience in the low back
The spiral work connects the limbs back into the spine — good for anyone who tends to feel like their body moves in disconnected pieces

From there we lie down and spend some real time with the breath, not thinking about feeling it, but actually feeling it. Then we come back up for lung and kidney q...
