Studies have shown that the chemicals which indicate stress responses in the human body have clearly decreased from just ONE 1-hour Qigong session! Anecdotally, people have told me that they feel more energised, grounded and balanced after their very first session and beyond.

What Practices will We be Doing? We will focus on:

*Standing/Seated Meditation and Breathing Techniques for deepening internal awareness and revitalising the body.

*A set of Meridian Qigong that can be used as a stand-alone practice or as a warm-up prior to deeper exercise. This set is designed to restore & support Qi flow throughout the body.

-Squeezing out the organs like a sponge through movement of maximum expansion and contraction

-Rooting into the ground

-Wringing out the Meridians like a towel

-Relating to the 5 Elements in Classical Chinese Medicine 5 Element Theory
