4 Qigong ‘Flavours’
Each Qigong session is founded on the same principle: regulating the body, the breath and the mind – 3 aspects of one being. Each session also has its own focus.
Introduction to Qigong
Introducing the fundamentals of posture, breathing and mental focus with simpler Qigong exercises. We will introduce various ‘flavours’ of Qigong so if you’re not sure where to start – start here.
Wednesdays, 7:30 pm
Ba Duan Jin
8 Silk Brocades
Probably the best known of all Qigong sets and one of the most ancient. Perfect combination of movements with a meditative focus. If you are looking to reduce stress this is your class.
Tuesdays, 9:30 am
Seated Qigong
Using a dedicated set of Qigong moves designed to work with a seated position to improve neck, shoulder and spine mobility and calm the mind. It’s accessible to those with mobility restrictions but valuable for all.
Wednesdays, 9:30 am
Shibashi
Tai Chi Qi Gong
Shibashi sets consist of 18 Qigong exercises that challenge balance, strength and coordination and is the most dynamic of the ‘flavours’ here. In September we will start tackling the even rarer set 5, learning the moves slowly then learning to put them together. Energising.
Thursdays, 9:30 am
Qigong with Music
Using sequences of Qigong moves flowing together with music to improve the flow of Qi through the body and mind.
Thursdays, 6 pm, Fridays 9:30 am
