– Qi Gong for Enerchi –

A mindful and meditative Qi Gong based movement practice for energy cultivation and balance. Including Somatics, Freestyle Tai Chi and Meditation (Seated or Standing).

Qi Gong means energy cultivation and is a short form moving meditation similar to Tai Chi, though easier to learn. It principles come from Daoism and Chan Buddhism and it’s based around Chinese medicine, Martial Arts and Spirituality. The techniques practised are aimed at cultivating a healthy flow of Qi/Chi within the body’s organs and meridans (energy pathways). The Qi Gong movements used help balance out our energies with the same principles as Acupuncture in order to remove any blockages, stagnant, excess or deficient qi/energy.

These classes are for all and can in particular be useful for those with disabilities and conditions such as ME, CFS as well as Long Covid. The class can be taken seated and/or standing.

Dynamic, passive and Intuitive Movements with flow and purpose to help with blood circulation and pressure
