Lineage Medicine™ is derived from 5000 years of ancient practices, including medicinal movements like Tai Chi, Yoga, and Qigong. With proper spinal alignment, breath expansion, and intention, our mind and body release stagnation promoting optimal blood flow. Ultimately, we strengthen our mental, physical, and social wellbeing.
The Lineage Medicine™ methodology cultivates the awareness of the value of rest (Yin). Thus, properly fueling our source for action (Yang). Our unique essence and purpose is grounded in this power of Yin - our source of connection, play, and renewal. The articulation of our innate self without apology or fear enhances our overall wellbeing, catalyzing joy and longevity.
When we deepen the link between the nervous system and meridian system, the necessary components within us to resolve loneliness, burnout, and anxiety are developed.
