Join Heidi for a nourishing 90-minute practice honoring the transition from Late Summer into Fall.
We’ll begin with grounding Earth-element Qigong to support the spleen and stomach, cultivate stability, and help us digest not only food, but also the experiences and changes of our lives.
As we move toward Autumn, we’ll transition into the Metal element, associated with the lungs and large intestine and explore practices of letting go, releasing what has run its course, and making space for what matters most. Long-held Yin postures will complement the Qigong forms, gently opening the body’s energetic pathways while calming and restoring the nervous system.
Together, we’ll move from nourishment to discernment, from gathering to letting go, rooting into the steadiness of Earth as we prepare to meet Autumn with clarity, appreciation, and ease.
All levels are welcome. No previous Qigong or Yin experience is necessary.

About Heidi:
Heidi (RYT-500) lives the practice of yoga on and off the mat. Whether exploring the skyscraper canyons of New York City, or chasing her son Everette (her daily teacher, guru, and little love munchkin) on the beach of a South Carolina summer, she is never without a sense of gratitude for the transformation – in mind, body and spirit – that the study yoga has given her. Injured from youthful pursuits as a gymnast and diver, she once assumed balance and body confidence were lost to her forever. But, her first yoga class in Chicago in 2005 allayed her fears, and a resurgence of strength and vitality began. Influenced heavily by Ashtanga Yoga and David Swenson, she continues to absorb lessons of Leslie Howard, David Garrigues and other illuminating souls into her personal practice and classes. “Pure joy” is how Heidi describes teaching at Holy Cow, where she completed her 200-hour TT in 2010.
