Inner Medicine is an experiential approach to mind body health, bringing together practical tools for self awareness and well being with the wisdom of Chinese medicine, Qigong, energy medicine, and Daoist self cultivation. Through classes, we explore how to better understand ourselves, regulate and work with our energy, and cultivate greater vitality, resilience, and presence in everyday life.
Join each series live or follow along with the recordings on your own time.
Rooted in the wisdom of the Huangdi Neijing, Pillars of Health is an experiential mind body health program exploring four foundational approaches to cultivating health and living well: nourishing life, living in rhythm, tending the spirit, and cultivating harmony.
Drawing from contemporary mind body approaches alongside the self awareness and self cultivation traditions of Daoist medicine and the Chinese medicine classics, we explore practical skills and embodied practices to better understand ourselves, care for our energy, regulate our systems, and cultivate greater vitality, resilience, and ease.
At its heart is a simple idea: health is something we can actively practice in everyday life.
What does it really mean to cultivate health?
How do we nourish our energy rather than simply respond when something goes wrong?
How do the rhythms of nature, our bodies, and our lives shape our wellbeing?
How do our thoughts, emotions, awareness, and inner state influence our health?
How can we recognize imbalance earlier and find our way back toward greater harmony?
In each series, we will continually return to:
Body — foundational health, movement, rest and physiology
Qi — Qigong, breath, and energetic boundaries
Mind — awareness, regulation, reflection and intention
Shen — presence, meaning, and connection
This program is for anyone interested in understanding and cultivating health from the inside out. You don’t need to have studied Chinese medicine or practiced Qigong before.

How do we cultivate health before illness arises?
Yang Sheng, or Nourishing Life, is one of the foundational principles of the Huangdi Neijing: health is something we tend to every day. Explore how sleep, food, movement, breath, work, rest, and our daily choices influence our energy and vitality. We’ll learn to better understand our own energy quotient and develop practical ways to nourish, conserve, and protect our essential Qi.
Inner Medicine: How am I tending to the life I have?

How does our inner state shape our health?
In Chinese medicine, tending the Shen, or spirit, is an essential part of tending the whole person. Explore the relationships among awareness, emotions, attention, the nervous system, energy, and the body. Through Qigong, meditation, embodied awareness, and contemporary mind body practices, we’ll cultivate greater capacity to listen inwardly, regulate our systems, and respond to what we find.
Inner Medicine: Can I listen deeply enough to know what is happening within me?

12–1pm PT | Online via Zoom
How do we live well within a life that is always changing?
The Neijing teaches us to live in relationship with the rhythms of nature, our bodies, and the seasons of our lives. Explore circadian and seasonal rhythms, Yin and Yang, the Five Phases, and the natural cycles of activity and restoration. Learn to recognize when your system needs movement or stillness, expansion or conservation, action or rest.
Inner Medicine: What rhythm does my body and life need right now?

12–1pm PT | Online via Zoom
How do we find our way back toward balance?
Health is not a fixed state. We are continually responding to our emotions, relationships, environment, activity, rest, and the changing circumstances of life. Drawing from the Chinese medicine principle of harmony, we’ll explore how to recognize our own patterns of imbalance and cultivate greater adaptability, self regulation, and ease.
