SET YOURSELF UP FOR THE DAY BY ENHANCING YOUR ENERGY, POWER AND FOCUS!

Weekly on Tuesday mornings from 7:30am to 8:15am. 8th October to 10th December. 10 sessions in total. 

PRICING IS TIERED SO YOU PAY WHAT YOU CAN AFFORD. 

In the event of bad weather, I will message you and post on my website and on Facebook events. We will add on a session in December. 

Join me, Sarah Divine - Senior White Tiger Qigong instructor -, for this 10-week Qigong series to discover the Hidden Wellspring of Power in your Body with WHITE TIGER QIGONG - a powerful and effective meditative movement & exercise system used to cultivate inner peace and vitality, and promote healing and wellness. I love this Qigong with a passion, and it has become my way of life.I am deeply committed to sharing these practices so others can also benefit from exploring movement, inner alchemy and breathing techniques for healing, transformation, increasing energy reserves, and deep relaxation and stress reduction. Beginners and those with experience alike will find inspiration and benefit, and movements can be modified to suit different levels of ability.

You are welcome to come for all or some of the sessions. 

During this course you will:

• Learn gentle movements to open up energy channels (Meridians) in the body.
• Experience the art of Inner Listening, tuning in to your own innate intuition and wisdom.
• Utilise the power of your breath to improve your relaxation response.
• Improve circulation, digestion, elimination, sleep cycles, concentration & emotional balance.
• Discover ways to reduce stress, anxiety, body tension & pain.
• Learn about ‘Pulsing’, and how to combine this with intention, to send Qi to different parts of the body.
• Become familiar with Qigong meditations which help to sharpen your focus, harness your intention spirit, and assist the flow of Qi in the body.
• Feel the power of harmonising body movement & posture with breath and spirit.
• Enhance your sense of energy and well-being.

What will the 45 minute session look like?

THIS WILL BE A FLOW CLASS - LEARNING BY DOING

I will teach you a set of simple, gentle practices that you can integrate into your daily schedule as much or as little as you like.  We will progressively build on your understanding of the practices to enhance their efficacy and learn to get into a flow state.

Qigong offers practical exercises that hold the capacity to heal old injuries, release emotional trauma, restore vital energy, and rejuvenate your spirit. Qigong is also a powerful exercise for preventative health care from illness and disease states. White Tiger Qigong combines ancient practices with modern sports science for optimal effect. Dynamic exercises are coupled with rhythmic, deep breathing, and harnessed intention of mind focus and spirit.

If you have limited mobility and require a chair, please let me know in advance so I can bring a folding chair for you. 

We practise either barefoot or with flexible thin-soled shoes. 

Hurtle Square is a well-maintained grassed area so is pleasant underfoot! 

Please wear comfortable, loose clothing. Also, make sure that your stomach is not full. I recommend eating at the very latest one hour prior to practising Qigong (and then only a light meal). For a heavier meal, I would leave at least two hours between eating and practice. Have a chair handy in case we do a seated meditation or if you need to rest or hold the chair for balance.

If you have any health concerns regarding any part of the practice, please contact me in advance. I am a qualified exercise scientist, but you need to get clearance to exercise from an exercise physiologist or other suitable health professional if you have an injury or a chronic health condition.
