This weekend will explore the fundamentals of building the body for
Qi Gong. We will make space in the body, opening up; weave
together mind and body, expand.
​
We will build some power into
the body, and use Qi Gong forms to circulate our qi through the
body in specific patterns.
​
The weekend will include active ‘workout’ to mobilise, strengthen and open the body:
​
* Qi gong exercises, moving meditation
* Taiji warm up and introductory exercises
* Optional long guided meditations, and shorter simple
meditation exercises during our sessions
Qi Gong
You will slow down, experience more vibrancy, and feel a greater
sense of connection to the present moment through the body.
These exercises are very good preparatory work for those who may
wish to dive deeper into Chinese body arts. They are also good for
people who simply want to enjoy being in their bodies a little more,
or a little differently, and who are curious to see what it feels like to
move their bodies in this way; to see what effect this way of being
in the body has on the mind. They are good for those looking to
find peace.
​
