Join Acupuncturist Alana Foeller and Qi Gong Teacher Colleen Osborne for Seasonal Wellness Through Chinese Medicine, a class focused on simple, accessible ways to support your health through seasonal lifestyle shifts, nourishing foods, herbal medicine, and gentle Qi Gong movement. Autumn invites us to slow down, breathe deeply, and prepare for the season ahead. In Chinese medicine, this time of year is associated with the Metal element and the Lung system, which help govern respiration, immunity, the skin, and the body’s protective energy. As nature begins to contract and release, autumn also offers us a chance to let go of what we no longer need and strengthen what will sustain us through winter. During this seasonal transition, many people experience dryness, respiratory sensitivity, allergies, lower energy, changes in mood, or a sense of feeling ungrounded. Chinese medicine offers a rich framework for understanding these patterns and supporting the body with greater intention.In this class, you’ll explore: • How autumn is understood through the lens of Chinese medicine • Seasonal lifestyle shifts that support balance and resilience • Foods and herbs that nourish the lungs and immune system • Gentle Qi Gong practices to help you feel steady, grounded, and prepared for the colder months ahead You’ll leave with practical tools you can begin using right away to support your body, breath, and energy throughout the fall and winter season.
