'TUESDAY CHILL' TaiChi Qigong in Mytchett AKA 'ZEN SANCTUARY
What is it?
The exercises we do here are called Qigong ("Chee - Gong")
Qigong could be described as a half-way house between complicated Tai Chi routines and standing Yoga-type flows, moving between a stretch and a relaxation, aided by the breath and mindful visualisations. Tuning into the body, we become aware of our tensions and stresses, and we learn to let go. Gradually installing a new habit of relaxation and calm, to defeat stress and anxiety
Qigong is a very ancient health promoting exercise system originating in China about 5000 years ago. A series of standing postures and mindful movements to boost the internal energy flow and promote wellness of body mind and spirit. Qigong is the exercise branch of Chinese medicine and is often prescribed to improve the health of an individual.
Most of the class is performed standing up, but for 10 minutes the group sit on chairs for a short guided meditation. The class was nicknamed 'Zen Sanctuary' by one of our group who attended a few years ago - they said coming into the class was like stepping away from the stresses of the world - with soft coloured lights , Mandala wall hangings and Zen music.
Fees:
£8 per class paid in blocks of roughly 6 weeks.
