Qigong with Anne-Sophie Morel
6:30pm – ONLINE ZOOM CLASS
These are strange times – when we need our humanity and empathy more than ever, we are forced to be cut off of from each other. As Covid19 spreads globally, online Qigong seems like a great way to keep supporting you, physically, emotionally and mentally.
Anne-Sophie has been practicing Tai Chi and Qigong for over twenty years and is excited to be able to teach some very easy techniques that can help improve your health and promote relaxation.
What is Qigong?
Qigong (pronounced chee-gong) is an ancient Chinese exercise and healing technique that involves focused intention, controlled breathing, good posture and movement exercises. There are thousands of different sets of movements, some harder, more external, some gentler, and some which are more meditative. Many are very simple to learn.
Whilst Tai Chi is a martial art, Qigong is thought more as body and mind conditioning.
No mats, no lycra, no need to be flexible, young or old, seated or standing, anyone with a square metre of floor space can do this!
In these uncertain times, as we sit at home waiting, anxious; Qigong will help with getting your whole body and mind re-energised, less stagnant, calm, and above all, right now, improve your immune system, and build resilience.
If you have a specific health condition, or any questions, please contact Anne-Sophie ahead of the class time by text on 07779111248.
The cost of this class is £14 drop in or 6 classes for £72 (please note that the 6 classes must be taken within a two month period from purchase date). Class takes place via Zoom (you will be sent an invitation link after booking).
