5 Element Theory

Late summer is the element of Earth and the colour Yellow lets look at how we can integrate that into our lives and be more mindful.

Nutritional Theory

Foods to nourish the Spleen and Stomach and foods to avoid

As the saying goes, “You are what you eat”. We may have a tendency to ignore good eating habits because of today’s busy environment. Developing healthy dietary habits is what is most important and it is not as confusing or restrictive as many people think.

Nourish and strengthen your spleen with nutritional knowledege based on the 5 element theory and also basic known nutritional advice with various methods for good health, longevity and vitality.

The spleen is considered by practitioners to be the main organ of digestion, responsible for transforming and extracting nutrients from the foods we eat into chi and blood.

This is the season of Earth so lets focus on Spleen and Stomach health.

Workshop Testimonials

I'd like to say thank you as well. I learned a lot and have new topics to research. :) The exercises will benefit me as I continue to practice them. It was a good workshop and I am glad I attended.

Thank you Leia Cohen for the very informative workshop on the Heart and Summer Heat! I enjoyed learning the great new exercises for the Summer and what foods are best for our body. I am especially going to try standing meditation ??

Hi Leia, I just wanted to say again that I really enjoyed the class today not just the information, but doing the movement especially when you added in that little bit of the medical gigong as I have always been interested in the healing side. The crane really tested my balance a bit.

Excellent class today - learned a lot. Appreciate your relaxed but thorough teaching style - and your sense of humor!

I love your classes and hopefully one day I will train with you in person!

You are very patient and informative to your students. Getting back to the basics is very important because as we move ahead in our practice we do forget to do the postures properly. It was a great reminder for me to go back over my Basics even as I learn the Tai Chi 28 form. Thanks for helping me with my horse stance! ?
I look forward to more live classes :)

I participated for the first time in one of Leia’s Master Class. What an inspiration for me to continue on with my training. Leia is charismatic, funny, and a seasoned teacher who loves to do what she is doing. I learned the importance and correct implementation of postures, and also had a first immersion on tai-chi theory. I had been doing the basic videos without being aware of the correct positions; now I know. The class also made me curious of learning more about theory. The experience took me to a new level. I am happy.

I really enjoyed the class on postures! I think one of the things that was really cool was being in a class with people from all over the world from the privacy of my own deck! And each of the students were at their own place on there Thaiflow journey and everyone seem to really get a lot out of it. Being able to demonstrate our own postures for Leia to correct was priceless.

It was a great experience to join Leia's masterclass. There was both a theoretical and a practical part and after following all I felt a deeper understanding of the beautiful path (which contains a greater peace of mind, building physical strength...) that Tai Chi can offer you with a daily practice routine. It was a pleasure for me. I felt really happy after having done and followed the class! Thank you for encouraging me on joining you.

It was great to meet up with others who are taking the course and have live contact. You can see me and I can see you and that is very important for me

You are very good in explaining it, I always find it is very easy to understand. I have been doing Tai Chi for a few years now and I have been doing a little bit of teaching too. I always find it easy for me to understand when you explain and that is why I will always follow you too and do the classes with you. It's awesome, thank you

Very good explanation on some important principles of Tai Chi. The emphasis on how the energy comes from the waist area and how all the movements start at the waist
