Qigong and Mudra Practice to Boost Vital Energy and Inner Calm

Unlock your body’s natural vitality with this dynamic and deeply restorative Qigong and mudra practice. Designed to support both physical and emotional well-being, this session with Dr. Juli Kramer blends flowing movement, breathwork, and meditation to help you feel lighter, stronger, and more energized from within.

Experience the Transformative Power of Movement and Breath

At the heart of this class is the time-tested Eight Pieces of Silk Brocade, a powerful Qigong sequence practiced for over 800 years. This sequence gently stretches and strengthens the entire body while circulating Qi (life force energy) through your meridians. As a result, you’ll enjoy enhanced immunity, improved flexibility, and a calmer state of mind.

Before beginning the brocade, you’ll warm up with a gentle Qigong flow that opens your joints and prepares your body for deeper energetic work. Moreover, you’ll be guided with breath cues that can be adapted to your comfort level—making this Qigong and mudra practice truly accessible to all.

Transition into Stillness with Prana Mudra

Following the invigorating movement, you’ll shift into stillness through Prana Mudra, known as the “gesture of the upward current of energy.” Not only does this mudra support respiratory health and heart function, but it also enhances optimism and enthusiasm—qualities many of us long to reconnect with.

To deepen its impact, you’ll be guided through a visualization meditation that directs nourishing green energy through the lungs and heart. As a result, you’ll feel emotionally uplifted and physically grounded, carrying the effects of this Qigong and mudra practice long after it ends.
