Qi Cultivation - Try Qi Gong wi Josie

Service Description

After exploring acupuncture, biofeedback and osteopathy to address what was defined as “adrenal fatigue “about 15 years ago, I started a deep dive into what I could do for myself to bring balance back into my life, without medicating. Qi Gong was suggested to me by the Traditional Chinese Medicine doctor whom I was seeing at the time. Little did I know just how deep I would delve into this ancient Chinese healing art. Fast forward to present day- I have completed 3 teaching certifications and on the tail end of finishing another. In between, I have also been fortunate to learn from many other renowned teachers, exploring different styles and lineages. And the learning continues… So, what is it? The very rough translation goes something like this: Qi = Vital Energy Gong (stemming from the same root as “Kung” fu) = Skill or Cultivation Therefore… Qi Gong is the “skill of cultivating vital energy”. Some refer to it as “the mother of Tai Chi Chuan”- a style of internal martial arts. The sessions will be a mix of simple, yet powerful movements that have been put together, borrowing from different teachers and styles, including a few movements from traditional forms. They are suitable for all abilities! Although Qi Gong is usually a standing practice, the classes can be easily modified for anyone preferring to do all or even part of it seated in a chair. I look forward to playing with you soon!
