SLOW FLOW – QIGONG FOR WINTER

6 Week Qi-Gong Course – Starts January 7th

Less Stress – More Energy – Better Health

What if you could improve your health, strength and vitality, by simply slowing down?

• Slow your body
• Slow your breath 
• Slow your mind

When we slow down we give ourselves the opportunity to rejuvenate, to recharge and to harness our own life force energy or “Qi”. 

As we move towards winter we begin to turn inwards and connect to the power of Yin, the power of Water and the power of finding our own slow flow. In this 6 week course we will explore Qigong movements, meditations and breathwork practices to support this slowing down, giving us the space to connect to our Qi, to our subtle energy, giving us the tools to feel stronger, calmer and full of vitality.

When: Tuesday Evenings 6pm and Thursday Mornings (via Zoom) All classes are recorded so you can catch up in your own time.

Dates: 

• Tuesdays 6-7pm:  January 7th, 14th, 21st, 28th and February 4th and 11th 
• Thursdays 9-9.30am:  January 9th, 16th, 23rd, 30th and February 6th and 13th 

Price: Concessions £60 – Standard £80 – Supporter £100

In Traditional Chinese Medicine we are entering the water phase of winter. The water element relates to the organs of the bladder and kidneys, our bones, our ears and our sense of hearing. The meridians of Kidney and Bladder run along our spine and the back of the body and when they are flowing well we feel supported by life, grounded and connected to the world around us. We can find our inner flow with ease, without effort or strain, enabling us to let go of our fears and move forward with courage. 

Qigong teaches us to come back to our bodies, to come back home, to a place of belonging that is inside all of us, a place of stillness in our the centre.  Where we can better navigate life’s uncertainties with greater balance, ease, and steadiness.

The session was amazing for me. Even though I have shoulders and knees and foot discomfort and pain I was able to carry out the movements with ease.

Thank  you so much for the beautiful Qigong sessions. I have found them so warming, loving, energising, meaningful and doable.

It was enjoyable and I love the fact that you were explaining everything in a way that felt so natural. I love it all, thanks again. Tina
