This workshop is about moving mindfully, breathing, connecting to your own life force and about connecting this with the flow of the Seasons of Nature, yourself and your life.

My form of qigong, with practice, is calming to the nervous system, fluid, encourages balance, the equilibrium of left & right brain hemispheres, aims at improving breathing, stamina and mind/body focus as an entire being – physical body, emotional body, higher consciousness and spirit.

Qigong can help ground and maintain a balance between the physical and spiritual also. The practises I will show you are simple and fun; helping to balance right and left brain modes and bring mindful awareness to your body and environment.

No experience is necessary, just a willingness to participate and happily discover a deeper level of yourself.

(NB: If necessary due to inability to stand for lengthy periods, participants may be seated for the practice which still provides health benefits)

There will be:

• Instruction in simple basic stances & visualising connections
• Breathing techniques – the Lungs/diaphragm.
• Specific qigong poses & movements
• Info on The Five Elements Theory
• The Nature of Qigong
• A little about meridians of your body and the earth
• Cycles of the Seasons – more specifically for Autumn.
• The associations of Autumn – colour, element & more
• A guided relaxation to end the session; to gather your well-nourished qi (life force) and allow it to blend and integrate within you before heading home.

Please Bring:

• Your curious self dressed in loose-fit clothing or light exercise type gear.
• Joggers may be worn if you need foot support. Otherwise bare feet or socks is fine.
• A snack if you need one.
