5 Element Theory

Heart and Small Intestine Nutritional Theory

Foods to nourish the heart and foods to avoid

In Daoism we follow the natural way. The natural way is infinite like the seasons in the year that follow an infinite cycle. Spring comes before summer, then fall which gives way to winter and winter back to spring. In Daoism, by following the natural way, we eat according to the seasons. There are certain foods that we will eat in each season and certain exercises that we will practice to cultivate and nourish the specific organs of that season.

In this class you will learn which foods to eat and which exercises to practice according to the seasons. You will then find a whole new level of understanding or your body and who you are.

We will discuss how to promote heart health. What is the role of the heart in the body and which organs are pair with the heart. The exercises to practice that will promote a peaceful and calm heart.

I have based this study on the 5 element theory and also common nutritional knowledge of how to eat for a healthy heart.

This is the season of Fire so lets make sure to calm the fire in your heart.

Workshop Testimonials

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.

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 ??

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

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.

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.

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
