A typical Qigong session
- The style of Qigong taught is the Shibashi 18 movements set which is easy to learn and develop at your own pace.
- Sessions last around an hour and can be practised standing or seated.
- Chairs are provided in the classes if you need to sit or for those who find standing too tiring.
- The classes are suitable for all ages, from beginners to more experienced.
- Wear comfortable clothing and flat shoes e.g. trainers or pumps.
- My classes are informal and friendly, and I hope to provide a place where you can learn and have fun at the same time.
We start with some gentle warm up and loosening exercises then practice the Shibashi Qigong set performed with several repeats in a fluid and continuous way.
As you become more familiar with the moves we focus in more depth on the breathing, good posture and health benefits of each of the movements in the set. Within a few weeks of regular practice, the set takes about 15-18 minutes to perform.
The main focus of Qigong sessions is relief from stress, relaxation and providing a gentle but effective form of exercise, which may also help to improve well-being, balance and confidence.
Health Issues
Certain physical injuries, particularly of the back and neck, may prevent you from practising. If you’re in any doubt, ask your doctor if you should be attending classes and make sure Sarah is aware of your condition.
