Qi Gong is one of the oldest movement practices in the world, rooted in the understanding that the body is not just physical matter but a living system of energy, or chi, that needs to move, circulate and flow to keep us well. When that energy stagnates, we feel it. Heavy, foggy, tight, flat. This practice is the remedy.

Gracie guides you through a Qi Gong-inspired sequence from our somatic movement library, designed to be picked up on any morning when time is short but the body still needs attention. Twisting through the spine, swinging the arms, tapping the shoulders, and breathing with intention, each movement works to shake loose what has settled overnight and invite fresh energy through the system.

Just a few minutes of this kind of conscious, flowing movement shifts the quality of everything that follows. The mind clears, the body warms, and whatever is feeling stuck begins to move again.

Part of the Soluna somatic movement library, this practice pairs beautifully with Anna’s somatic movement sequence or the Soluna Signature for a longer morning ritual.

Benefits:

• Stimulates chi flow and circulation through Qi Gong-inspired movement

• Releases stagnation held in the spine, shoulders and upper body

• Warms and awakens the body without intense exertion

• Pairs breath with movement for a grounded, present start to the day

• Short enough to fit into any morning, effective enough to feel the shift
