This class video begins with a quote titled "Gratitude" by Melody Beattie to help set the theme and intention for practice. We share qigong, wall yin yoga, myofascial release (massage) and a guided gratitude practice, all to gift ourselves a super duper dose of self-care. This practice is particularly helpful if you're feeling depleted, have fluid retention in your legs, have jet-lag, achy legs, and/or achy low back. It is advised NOT to massage with the tennis balls if you are on blood thinning medication, or over any recent cuts, bruises or injuries. Please have your mat set up perpendicular to a wall, 2 tennis balls, pillows, snuggly socks and a snuggly blanket (or similar supports) ready for practice together.

Welcome to this Inner Smile With Self Massage practice. The beauty of this practice is that it is beneficial for everyone, whether you are healthy, ill, or recovering from an illness or surgery. Following the Generative Cycle of the Five Elements, we cultivate connection, care and compassion towards our yin organs (Heart, Spleen, Lungs, Kidneys and Liver) as well as the whole body. Through self massage, smiling energy, breath, visualisation, colour and affirmations we gently nourish the body, mind and spirits. The key is to connect your mind awareness with the organs. The more you practise, the deeper and stronger your connection becomes. I offer heart felt thanks to my teacher, Marisa Cranfill, the founder of the YOQI® method, for sharing this extended Inner Smile with Self Massage with me. It is an honour to share my own version with you, I hope you find it helpful.

In this class the Six Healing Sounds of qigong are thoughtfully paired with specific yin yoga poses to deepen release and support healing. Each sound carries a unique vibrational energy that helps clear and balance certain emotions, while the long-held yin poses create space for the body to stretch and release along correlating meridians. Please have a bolster, yoga blocks, pillows, and a snuggly blanket (or similar supports) ready for practice together.

Freya created this YOQI® Yoga + Qigong sequence to nourish the spine. This in turn nourishes and calms our Central Nervous System (CNS) and Central Meridian. We move our spine through its full ROM, give it some attention, some love and a guided meditation. #yoqi #qigong #attuneandbloom #qigongforhealth #qi #spinehealth #spine #waterelement

Freya created this YOQI® qigong flow to develop, grow and expand loving kindness to ourselves and all beings. We focus on the Heart and Liver in this sequence. The virtues of the Heart are joy, patience and love. The virtue of the Liver is kindness. Together they make loving kindness. We culminate loving kindness in Zhan Zhuang / Standing Like A Tree pose. This video is filmed on the banks of the Murray River on the NSW and Victorian boarder, Australia.

Freya created this YOQI® qigong flow to support emotional healing—particularly grief, sadness, and depression. This gentle yet powerful flow helps: * Tenderly re-open and balance the Heart, * Deeply nourish the Lungs, * Release stagnant emotions, attachments, and patterns, * Cultivate courage, protection, and presence, * Strengthen the Spleen and support clarity and intention. We also work with the Extraordinary Meridians, particularly the Du Mai and Ren Mai, which play a key role in treating depression and supporting emotional integration. This flow is ideal for those navigating grief, emotional overwhelm, or life transitions. It is especially supportive during Autumn, when Metal energy is more vulnerable and in need of nourishment. Please reach out for help from a professional if you need it. #attuneandbloom #yoqi #qigong #qigongforhealth
