CLASS DESCRIPTION:

Qi gong is an ancient practice working with mind, body and breath and is the perfect antidote to our busy, often stressful lives. During this term spread over 7 weeks you will continue to work with the 12 Rivers practice and the 18 forms and really sense into our meridians and the flow of our energy. We will also practice waking the Qi,  some 5 element breathwork and sequences, Between Heaven and Earth and some wuji practices all about shifting old patterns of energy to feel renewed. We will continue to work with some of the Animal play too which helps to build up physical resilience in our bodies and develop our energy and strength and explore some Iron shirt Qigong to spread the energy to all parts of the body and open up and oxygenate the tissues. Particular focus this term will be on nourishing the Metal element which is associated with Autumn and the immune system and our protective energy.  Physically Qigong can help with muscles, joints and ligaments and improve body alignment, posture and balance. It also helps our immune system too as it gets the lymphatic system moving. Emotionally it can help to shift blocked emotional patterns and reduce stress and anxiety. This is innercise not exercise! Once learnt these practices can be slotted into daily life to balance the body and leave you feeling calm yet energised.
