Each of these monthly qigong workshops will begin with some general qigong to warm up and prepare the body before shifting focus to a particular theme or practice.
We will explore some of the Animal Frolics – playful forms inspired by the Tiger, the Bear, and so on. We will look at practices oriented around the “energetic vessels”, such as the internal organs of the body, and the Five Elements. There will be static and moving practices.
No previous experience of qigong is necessary. There will be a break for tea, and time for questions and discussion.
Please inform the teacher before starting the session if you have any injury or health condition or if you have recently had an operation.
