The Secret to Effortless Qigong: Lower Body Alignment

In Qigong When we lack solid support from our legs and hips, our bodies often compensate by gripping the floor with our toes or holding tension in our shoulders. In this video, we break down proper alignment, how to establish a solid (but relaxed) connection with the ground, and how to use your lower body as a guide for your movements. We also close the session with a restorative "Pulling Down Heaven" sequence to help you clear tension, seal your Qi, and check in with your body. Remember, posture is a constant practice of evaluating and tweaking—be gentle with yourself! 👇 Join the Conversation! What did you notice during your body check-in today?
