Our Journals: Yang Sheng Workshop
Yang Sheng (養生), which translates to "nourishing life," weaves together practices such as qigong, meditation, dietary therapy, tea culture, and the principles of Chinese medicine. Together, these traditions encourage a more balanced and mindful way of living.
During the workshop, we discovered the six different categories of tea and learned how each supports the body in different ways, aiding nourishment, digestion, and overall well being.
In Chinese medicine, different teas are enjoyed throughout the seasons, helping us move with nature's rhythms while cultivating presence through breath and daily ritual.
We also sampled wild, organic teas grown on Nui Nui's family mountain land in Fujian, China, offering a rare opportunity to experience teas deeply connected to their place of origin.
The afternoon ended with a qigong session led by Davo - a gentle practice combining mindful movement, breathwork, and meditation to encourage relaxation, vitality, and inner balance.
It was a beautiful afternoon of shared learning, quiet connection, and seasonal reflection, leaving us with simple practices to carry through the winter months with greater intention and care.
