Yin Qi Gong for Women's Health

Balance Your Hormones, Lift Your Mood, and Improve Lymphatic Flow-

Yin Qi Gong has a balancing effect on the hormones, lifts the mood, improves lymphatic flow, and opens up the joints, especially of the hips and shoulders. As we continue the practice and our bodies begin to open up, it is not uncommon to witness accumulated tension and experience the stress held in the body-mind. When our histories include feeling unworthy or separate, our inner experience is of physical or psychic states of dis-ease. As we stay with the practice, inner tension begins to unwind, and any symptoms of imbalance tend to drop away. As we learn to understand our own psychic holding patterns, we become stronger, more balanced, flexible, and self compassionate.
