Qi Gong for Lymphatic Flow Workshop

Your lymph moves when you do.

After a long stretch of sitting, sometimes the first thing you want to do is stand up, stretch and take a deep breath. This workshop begins with that simple relationship between breath and movement.

Your lymphatic system is like the garbage collection service of a busy city. It gathers excess fluid and carries away waste your body no longer needs. Unlike your blood, it has no central pump like the heart. Movement, breathing and the squeezing and releasing of your muscles help it circulate.

Qi Gong brings these elements together. Lee will guide you through practices for the chest, belly and lower body, explaining what you’re doing as you move. You’ll have time to ask questions, explore at your own pace and find a rhythm that feels comfortable.

What we hold in the heart, we hold in the body.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the Spleen is associated with worry and overthinking, the Lung with grief and letting go, and the Kidneys with fear and inner steadiness. Lee will explore these teachings through movement and breath.

You’ll learn how these traditional systems work together through three connected areas: your chest, belly and lower body. Autumn is Lung season in Traditional Chinese Medicine, a natural time to explore the practice of letting go.

As you practice, notice your own experience. There is no particular sensation you need to produce.

Learn it with Lee. Make it part of your day.

A workshop gives you time to explore. A short routine gives you a way to come back.

Lee will guide you through gentle movement, breath, acupressure and self-massage, then bring the practice together in a form you can return to at home.

Your workshop includes a 20–30 minute Lymphatic Flow Routine, a guided acupressure and self-massage session, and a PDF to keep alongside your practice.
