On the podcast this week, Terry and I sat down to discuss our experience of integrating massage and Gua Sha into our yoga and pranayama practice routine. 

A Gua Sha stone is a tool used in Chinese Medicine to “clean the blood of toxicity.” In lay terms, this refers to the way that massage and Gua Sha help promote the flow of fluids through the fascial fabric, especially in lymphatic vessels, helping to eliminate wastes and pathogenic factors. 

We shared our assessments of the enhanced Qi flow we both experience with the integration of Gua Sha massage, and explain why it is an integral part of our upcoming 4-week intensive: Purifying Water – The Flow of Qi Cultivation.
