Qigong Classes

The Wednesday morning class is a 60-minute introduction to Qigong. Qigong is a soft energy-based exercise that nurtures, accumulates and maintains your Qi or vital energy throughout your life. By working our Qi, we keep ourselves strong and healthy from the inside out. Qigong is simple and easy to learn with profound/subtle results.

Weekly sessions alternate between Zhan Zhuang or standing still meditation, Ba Duan Jin or the Eight Brocades sequence, Shi Er Duan Jin or the Twelve Brocades sequence, Meihua Quan Kung Fu practices and diverse Qigong exercises. Each session focuses on stimulating acupoints, strengthening the meridian system and balancing Yin-Yang energy. This is a wonderful way to start or end your day.

 

Classical/Holistic Yoga Classes

The Monday morning and Thursday morning classes are 90-minute holistic Yoga class and a powerful way to bring the body, breath and mind into a balance. It is a complete practice with deep holds, slow flow and gentle recovery. The Asanas (poses) are followed by Pranayama (breathing exercises) and Yoga Nidra (deep active relaxation).

The Thursday evening class is a 45-minute stretching session to help you unwind during or after a busy week, or in between heavy training sessions. It’s a more subdued practice that opens and relaxes the body and mind. This class has a mix of animal poses, yoga, Qigong and Kung Fu, and is particularly good for men, catering to their unique needs. If you push your body and are starting to feel it, come along and work on your flexibility, strength, joints, mobility, endurance and balance.

The Saturday morning class is a 60-minute Body Awareness session aimed at ‘rewiring’ the body by unblocking stagnant energy, improving digestion and opening the joints. Ideal preparation for more advanced yoga asanas or simply a great start to the day.
