Join Mark Heath in Higginson Park on Wednesday and Saturday mornings at 10am by the Cricket Pavilion for free classes over the summer. Classes last about an hour and usually end up with a post class cuppa at M Cafe on the terrace for a chat.
What is Qigong?
It is a series of slow flowing movements to build harmony and balance, and can get us back in touch with ourselves, nature and the world around us fully, in a healthy practical way.
Qigong is the parent of, and precursor to, both Tai Chi and Kung Fu and forms of Qigong have been practised for over 4000 years.
Qigong is often categorised into medical, martial and spiritual, and generally is considered an internal martial art, where health and spirit are considered a priority in this present form.
It is practised across the world in its various forms today, and although it’s early forms were practised by shaman, later by Taoists and Buddhist monks, is not of any religious denomination, and can be practised by people of all faiths, and no faiths equally.
In addition to general wellbeing, balance and harmony, Qigong can be utilised to address more specific areas equally, both within the body and our minds.
