Although it is related to its daughter Tai-chi, Qigong differs in that it consists of individual exercises, rather than having to learn a continuous form from beginning to end. These exercises are callisthenic, rather than aerobic, focusing on developing strength in the lower body, and lightness and grace in the upper body. The breath is often coordinated with the movements, and visualisation is sometimes used to enhance the benefits of each exercise.
Qigong exercise helps you to recapture your life force energy! It’s a system which will allow you to live a long and healthy life.
It is possible to build up a huge reservoir of energy for your own personal use, and then more to give to others as your day progresses! (thus not depleting yourself too much.) You don’t need special clothing, and can safely practice in office gear, without getting sweaty!
All drop in classes have a discount scheme for a bulk purchase of lessons, please ask me before the lesson.
