Tuesdays 9am – 10am
Qi Gong is a system of body and mind cultivation developed in China, with roots going back thousands of years. It uses accessible sequences of simple movements to explore and refine principles of posture, movement, breathing and awareness. As a regular practice it helps improve health, fitness and inner balance.
These classes focus on the foundation of practice, including ground rules of structure and movement, breathing and body-mind relationship. The 9-10am class focusses in particular on the flow of practice, by working with various sequences of short exercises through which the basic principles can be applied and practised, including Ji Ben Qi Gong (Qi Gong Foundations), Wu Xing Qi Gong (Five Elements Qi Gong), Wu Dao Yins (Clearing Exercises), Dan Tian Gong (energy building) and others.
Accessible to all, the classes do not require any particular level of strength, flexibility or prior knowledge. The two classes on Tuesday are complementary, so you can attend either or both of them, depending on your interest and availability. Feel free to drop in, or get in touch for more details.
