Morning mist lifts off the Li River and karst towers cut clean silhouettes against pale sky as a small group gathers on a wooden terrace. Slow, deliberate gestures stretch into the air; breath and balance map the first hours. This two-day intro course places learners where the landscape itself seems to slow time — the practice is soft, attentive, and paced to steady the body after travel.
