Lao Tzu - The Art of not Trying
Qigong (pronounced "chee gong") is an ancient Chinese healing art and self-cultivation system. This includes simple, gentle movement, posture, breathing techniques, self-massage and meditation.
These practices can improve and maintain health: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. We bring in fresh "Qi" (life energy) to nourish and energise the body. At the same time the mind is calmed, bringing a welcome balance to our lives.
Try one of our free videos on our "Free Resources" page and/or come and join us for an online or in-person session to bring more vitality, peace and freedom into your life!
