Qi Gong is an ancient practice of slow, gentle movements which mirror the principles of nature. This conscious way of moving opens the energy flow in the body, helps to settle the mind and anchor awareness in the body. The pressure and speed of modern life often disconnects and distracts us from our bodies, not seldom pushing it to the brink of exhaustion.
Qi Gong offers a safe and gentle way to reconnect with our bodies and begin to heal the split between mind and body to become more grounded and centered. When we are more connected with our body we have more access to its innate wisdom and intuition and learn to self care better. By releasing tension and soothing the nervous system Qi Gong allows us to tap into a natural state of relaxation and flow.
Less effort, less thinking, less doing – more being.
