Description

Infuse your evening with a relaxing and rejuvenating breathing journey! We will begin the session with a gentle guided qigong meditation and breathwork for calming the nervous system, releasing anxiety, and coming into a state of relaxation. New Moons are a time of intention setting. Use this time to contemplate what you wish to create at this moment in life ✨. **space is limited** please sign up in advance. Join Dr. Sinead Corrigan for a deeply restorative experience, located above Raleigh Raw in downtown Raleigh* (*If the downstairs door is locked, please ask the barista at Raleigh Raw to let you in and direct you to the room upstairs!) Qigong is translated as “cultivation of vitality”. Soft and gentle movements help to reset and reprogram the nervous system, while visualizations help to expand and brighten the mind. Breathwork is a powerful tool for transforming physical and emotional pain. We will utilize safe breathing techniques from both yogic and Taoist traditions. You will come away feeling grounded, centered, clear, and relaxed--ready for an amazing night’s sleep. What to bring: Yoga mat (blanket and pillow if you'd like) for the sound journey Recommended: water bottle, journal and pen for self-reflection afterwards. Wear comfortable, loose clothing for floor sitting/lying.
