Qigong by the Lake - Experience the Art of Mindful Movement

Discover Qigong through gentle movement, meditation and focused breathing in a calm outdoor setting by the lake.

This Qigong course introduces practices designed to encourage relaxation, body awareness and a greater sense of balance. You will learn energy-gathering movements, meditations and simple techniques for working with your internal energy, traditionally known as “Qi”.

Qigong has formed part of traditional Chinese health and wellbeing practices for centuries. Its slow, controlled movements can be adapted to different levels of mobility and experience, making the class suitable for people looking for an accessible and mindful form of movement.

Throughout the course, you will explore techniques that may help you:

• develop greater body and breath awareness
• encourage relaxation and reduce everyday tension
• improve focus and mindfulness
• build a regular personal Qigong practice

No previous Qigong or meditation experience is required.
