gather your energy in one minute

If you find yourself bouncing from one activity to the next every day—then finding yourself without your phone, your workout sneakers, or your head—you need a super-quick transitional practice that will help you gather your energy.

Try this gathering qi* practice from my fall prevention Tai Chi series, running online and in-person from the UU meetinghouse in Springfield, Vt. Follow the link to sign up for the session that works best for you—all classes are livestreamed and recorded, so you can follow along wherever and whenever you might be.

*What’s “qi"?” In Eastern wellness practices, it’s energy. If you’re a yoga fan, you might call it “prana,” or know it as our life force. You know it when you feel it, and your life moves so much more smoothly when you have it gathered in the present moment. Try this one-minute practice to see how it works for you.
