“Be still like a mountain

and flow like a river”

- Lao Tzu



WHAT IS QIGONG?



The term “qigong” is a combination of two words: "qi," which means “subtle breath” or “vital energy,” and "gong," which translates to “skill cultivated through steady practice.” Together, the words describe an age-old TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) practice that harnesses the power of breath, movement, and intention to create health and balance within the body.


Qigong opens the flow of energy in meridians/energy channels used in acupuncture and Chinese medicine. It enhances our ability to feel the Life Force (Qi) underlying the physical world and to deepen our communication with it. A mind-body-heart practice that improves mental and physical health by integrating posture, movement, breathing technique, self-massage, sound, and focused intent.


Achieve greater physical health, mental clarity, and emotional balance through this beautiful gift of ancient inner movement arts that works to quiet the mind, settle the emotions, and deeply relax the body. DISCOVER the art & science of effortless power that cultivates connection, relaxation, energetic healing & greater confidence.


Whether you’re a beginner or an experience practitioner our Qigong wkshps & programs cater to all levels, guiding you on a journey of self-discovery at your own pace.

SELF PACED QIGONG PROGRAMS

EIGHT SILK BROCADES
BA DUAN JIN Qi GONG - Saturday April 19th



This wkshp will cover TWO VERSIONS of the 8 Silk Brocade Qigong - Soft 8 Silk Brocades Qigong that is suitable for all levels AND the Shaolin 8 silk brocades version that is a stronger practice and needs some previous experience of Qigong. You can choose to take either or both versions of the Qigong form in the wkshp.



Learn one of the oldest and most famous of all Qigong sequences ‘Ba Duan Jin’, or ‘Eight Pieces of Brocade’, also known as ‘Eight Treasures’. This set of 8 forms can be traced back to the Song dynasty, which lasted in China from 960-1279CE. Rooted in traditional Chinese medicine and martial arts, these gentle movements have been practiced for centuries & aim to enhance both physical and mental well-being.



Imagine the fascia – all of your connective tissues within the body – as a smooth silken material which over time with poor posture, daily stresses and incorrect or overuse becomes stressed, thickened, and inflamed. With the 8 pieces of brocade you are smoothening, straightening, repairing your fascia until it resembles a fine piece of silk – and you are flowing with good health and vitality.


Other benefits include improved flexibility and strength, supports immune system, calms the mind, supports digestive health and relieves gastrointestinal discomfort, balances emotions, improves lung capacity, improves coordination, balance, and mobility. FAQ - PLEASE READ

DRAGON QIGONG



Suitable for all levels



DRAGON QI GONG
YOULONG QIGONG - Saturday July 26th



Dragons - powerful mysterious creatures that have appeared in mythical tales for thousands of years are also important in Qigong. Ancient Chinese sages developed extensive qigong practices dedicated to cultivating the dragons unique qualities and gifts. Their archetype and energy can help bring many benefits – clear & cleanse stagnation, boost confidence & internal power, increase longevity, conquer fear & anxiety, improves the ability to move with grace and ease, lubricate and elongate the spine in its full range of motion.


Dragon qigong focuses on flowing dynamic serpentine like movements - spiraling, twisting & coiling - that are wonderful for cultivating both physical and internal resilience. Most dragon practices engage the entire body and generally work with movements that are easy to learn and people often experience their benefits in a very short period of time. FAQ PLEASE READ

18 MOVEMENTS TAIJI CHUAN QIGONG
(SHIBASHI)





SATURDAY OCTOBER 4th
SUITABLE FOR ALL LEVELS



Shibashi, also called “Taiji Qigong in 18 Movements”, is a set of individual Qigong exercises, that are practiced in a fluid, continuous manner. Shibashi combines elements from Yang style Tai Chi and breathing and movement exercises from Qigong and has been described as a gentle, beautiful and flowing Qigong exercise that is very deeply relaxing. It is suitable for all ages and has been shown to increase energetic vitality, rejuvenate the mind,, and gain more agility and flexibility.


Learn a series of 18 energy-enhancing exercises that co-ordinate movement with breathing and concentration. Other benefits include : stimulates Lungs, promotes and helps lift depression, relieves anxiety and headaches, strengthens Kidney, knees and legs, helps balance and improve blood pressure, strengthens the Heart and Lungs, opens and expand flow of energy in the chest.


Shibashi introduces the basic elements of weight shifting, coordination of leg and arm movements, along with controlled breathing. This makes it a perfect prelude to warm-up for other types of physical exercise. Unlike many exercises which stretch and stimulate the large muscle groups, Shibashi focuses on the smaller muscles, tendons and ligaments in order to promote the strong elastic forces of the body.


The gentle stretching and releasing, combined with deep relaxed breathing, encourages tension deep in the body tissues to soften and release.
