THREAD MEMBERS: https://lnkd.in/dNG8guFu NON-MEMBERS: https://lnkd.in/d9pVcxBp The river never forces its way forward—it moves with patience, shaping the land as it flows. It bends, softens, adapts, yet never loses its way. Imagine if we moved through life like this, with the same effortless resilience, allowing each step and breath to carry us forward without resistance. For centuries, Qigong masters have studied the way wind stirs the trees, how waves rise and fall, and how energy moves through all living things. They understood that, like the river, Qi flows through us, animating every breath, thought, and action. When combined with yoga’s grounding stability and power, this energy becomes fully expressed—balancing yin and yang, movement and stillness, body and mind. ??

It moves with grace, carving its path through the landscape—yielding, yet unstoppable. It bends, but never breaks. Imagine moving through life this way—resilient, fluid, and at ease in every step, every breath. For thousands of years, the masters of Qigong observed nature’s rhythms, the way wind moves through trees, the way waves rise and fall, the way animals stretch and sway. They understood that life is energy in motion. Qi, the vital force that animates all things, flows through us just as it flows through the rivers, the stars, the breath between words. Through gentle, intentional movement, they discovered how to nurture vitality, heal imbalances, and cultivate inner peace—a practice that would become the foundation of Traditional Chinese Medicine, martial arts, and spiritual disciplines across the East. Where Qigong teaches softness and flow, yoga awakens strength and stability. Together, these ancient practices form a complete map of movement—balancing yin and yang, heaven and earth, sun and moon, action and rest. In this special workshop with Daniel Orlansky, you're invited to step into the wisdom of these time-honored traditions. Through the fusion of yoga’s flexibility and power with Qigong’s effortless grace, you’ll learn to move with nature’s rhythm, breathe with awareness, and discover a deeper sense of harmony within. For yoga teachers seeking to enrich their practice or to move with more ease, presence, and joy, this workshop is an invitation. Let the wisdom of the ancients guide you. Step into the flow!

March offers a beautiful opportunity to weave mindfulness into both your teaching and your personal practice. As we honor International Women’s Day, consider dedicating a class to the wisdom and resilience of the feminine, inviting students to reflect on strength, balance, and self-nurturing. On National Napping Day, explore the restorative power of stillness with a guided yoga nidra or a deeply restful savasana, reminding students that mindfulness includes knowing when to slow down and recharge. With the arrival of the Spring Equinox, invite a sense of renewal into your sequences—flowing between balance and expansion, mirroring nature’s shift toward growth. And on World Poetry Day, infuse your classes with words that inspire presence. Begin or close with a poem that speaks to mindfulness, encouraging students to pause, breathe, and receive the moment fully. Throughout March, let’s challenge ourselves to embody mindfulness—not just in moments of quiet, but in the way we teach, connect, and move through the world. MEMBERS!

In the quiet hum of a hive, bees teach us the art of harmony—how to work with purpose, move with intention, and trust in the rhythm of life. They remind us that every tiny effort contributes to something greater, that patience yields golden rewards, and that nature thrives when we simply let it bee. In their tireless dance from flower to flower, they show us that rest and renewal are just as vital as action, and that true sweetness comes from balance. So, like the bee, may we trust in our path, honor our work, and let things unfold as they are meant to—without force and without fear. Just like the bee, we gain strength in community ??
