Qigong is part of traditional Chinese medicine and developed many thousands of years ago by Shamans from different regions of China.
Qi = Vital Life Force energy, Gong = to work or gather & cultivate. Cultivating better circulation (both physical and energetic) to remove stagnation and blocks within the mind/body/spirit system in order to release vitality & heal. This is by using the Chinese meridian system.
Qigong is an internal process working with * Movements * Breath * Healing Sounds * Intention *Meditation * Massage
The movements aim to keep the fascia fluid (enhancing movement) stretching and strengthening the body, improving co-ordination, balance, proprioception, increasing fluid movement.
Qigong can be both gentle and strong, flowing and static. Qigong is a mind/body/spirit art.
In this beginners Qigong class you will begin to develop slowly and incrementally both a theoretical and energetic ‘feel’ for the practice. Gradually moving towards a complete ‘form’ (series of movements that are repeated, refined & developed.)
The class concludes with a deep relaxation & inspiring poem or relevant Daoist Text.
Qigong is a lifelong practice and I continue to learn and teach this energy art from various teachers from around the world. Primarily having trained with White Tiger Qigong.
Qigong is an excellent mindful practice!
