Qigong in the Heavens Valley

We are delighted to offer you another opportunity to join a gentle yet uplifting Qigong session with Clare Ballard in Heavens Valley.

Qigong is an ancient Chinese practice designed to cultivate health, balance and wellbeing through a combination of flowing movement, breathing techniques and mindful awareness. Similar in some ways to Tai Chi, Qigong is slower and easy to follow, making it especially suitable for beginners or anyone wanting to try it for the first time.

Practised regularly, Qigong can help improve relaxation, balance, flexibility and energy levels, while also offering a wonderful opportunity to slow down and connect with nature and the body.

Clare Ballard has worked as an Osteopath for many years and has been teaching Qigong in Stroud for more than three years. Her sessions are welcoming, supportive and suitable for all abilities.

Clare will meet you at the Bowbridge Lane entrance at 10.30am and then walk you through the Heavens to the spot she has chosen for this movement and body energy practice to savour the Spring and the beauty of the Heavens.

Please wear comfortable clothes and sturdy shoes as it is quite a steep and, in places, uneven walk to the place where you will enjoying the Qigong.

Parking around the Bowbridge Lane entrance is limited so please leave in plenty of time.

Tickets cost £10, with a 'Pay it forward' option of £15. There are 15 spaces available.

We would like this event to be open for all. We have a number of free tickets available so if you’d like to take part but the entrance fee would be unaffordable right now, please contact info@heavensvalley.org.uk
