Jane Robinson
Qi Gong - pronounced CHI KUNG -
is a Chinese system of exercises for health that is generally acknowledged as
the mother of Tai Chi.
The exercises are very gentle and easy to learn. They concentrate on the
breath and the ‘internal action’ of each exercise ie how it affects your
body. It is brilliant for helping you to relax and get in touch with
where you hold tension and how to release it.
What will happen in a class?
The class meets for an hour. We ask that
you wear loose clothing so that you can move comfortably. Most exercises
are conducted standing, but it is possible for you to sit throughout if that is
easier. Some exercises involve more physical movement, others are more
meditative.
What can the class help?
We have exercises to strengthen your constitution and give you more vitality
and stamina, to calm the mind and help you to sleep, to encourage improved
functioning of the internal organs of your body, or to improve joint and back
flexibility and strength.
Who would benefit from this class?
Anyone - it is open to all, but call Jane first if you wish to talk to her
first before coming along. It is run as a drop-in class, so you can come
along for a session and see how you get on.
