immerse yourself in winter serenity with Qigong

nurturing tranquility and harmony with eight silk brocades

Escape the winter hustle and find your oasis of calm with me during a six-week 'Winter Chillout' Qigong course in Boscombe. During this six week series, I plan to teach the Eight Silk Brocades paying particular attention to how we practice in winter for the water element with a focus on building strength and balance, on finding equanimity and of deep listening.

Dates:

• Monday 22nd January

• Monday 29th January

• Monday 5th February

• Monday 12th February

• Monday 19th February

• Monday 26th February

Time:

6:45 PM - 7:45 PM

Unlock the Benefits:

Join me as I teach the Eight Silk Brocades. The eight silk brocades or Baduanjin are an ancient practice and early mentions of this form date back to 1150. This particular set of practices are gentle and accessible but are renowned for their benefits. In addition to the flowing movements of the the Eight Silk Brocades, each week there will be an opportunity for breathwork and for meditation and visualisation. I will teach you simple warm-ups and meridian massage that you can practice at home and you will learn more about the five elements in Qi Gong. Sign up for the whole course and receive a PDF at the end of the course so that you can continue to build your own practice. During winter, nature draws inwards, seeds are planted and watered and nurtured. Working with Qigong is a bit like this - we will focus on the seeds you want to plant and nurture and by watering them, you can look forward to a brighter spring. You can expect:

• Improved energy levels and vitality

• Bone Density

• Better quality of sleep

• Increased strength, focus and resilience

• Enhanced balance and coordination

• An insight into the benefits and qualities of all five elements and how to bring them into balance
