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.
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.

What is included: 
Six live 60min evening Qigong Classes on zoom
Six live 30min morning Slow Flow classes on zoom
Access to replays of all classes so you can catch up in your own time. 
Access to private Whats App group to share experiences and ask questions 
Weekly supporting material for home practice :
– A Weekly video with a guided Qigong Practice or Meditation
– PDF – explanations of each practice 
– Key acupuncture points for self massage
Together we will: 
Learn a simple Slow Flow Qigong Movements to balance your nervous system and release stress.
Explore the principal of Wu Wei – Release tension and move with effortless action
Connect to your deep internal power – Learn to Standing in Emptiness (Wuchi)
Strengthen Kidneys and support adrenal health
Exercises to strengthen your spine and reduce back pain
Clear the meridian pathways reducing stagnation and stiffness for increased flow and vitality. 
Learn self-massage techniques for key acupuncture points to release stress and calm our busy minds.

Qigong means “To Nourish Life” and for me having a regular practice helps to bring me home to myself.
What will i get out of this course?
Deeper body awareness
Increased strength and emotional stability
Relax your mind and Improve mental clarity
Enhanced breathing and improved circulation

Less physical tension and reduced pain
