The beginning of the class is all about flow. This 40-minute portion is taught with a minimal amount of verbal instruction (just enough to ensure safety and a synergistic flow of energy within the group) to allow the participants to experience the effect of “moving meditation” and to allow deeper relaxation. The end of the class is all about detail. Each week a different component of the series will be covered in depth to deepen understanding of what you are doing and why and to enrich your future practice. If you are doing a private class or coaching, the detail section will be tailored to your current energetic patterns.

The class is led by Cindy Fatura, MQM. Cindy currently provides therapeutic energetic treatments for clients using a branch of Chinese Medicine called Medical Qigong.
