Qigong
Qigong is for overall balance. Qi means energy, Gong means to cultivate. Qigong helps us learn how to conserve and cultivate energy so we may use it more efficiently to build and maintain resilience by strengthening the immune system, the central nervous system as well as heart, body and mind.

Nothing in nature moves in straight lines. This ancient Healing Art, is a system of seamless movements that may be arching, oval, round, spiralling, mimicking movements in nature.
​
Spiralling in the body and central nervous system connects to the spiralling in our own DNA and spiralling is how the universe moves and evolves. Spiralling is also the way our body moves internally, around its own central axis, the spine and central nervous system. Qigong guides the way to heighten our awareness of being part of nature, the planet and the universe as well as being interconnected with all things and with one another.
​
Medical Studies on Qigong conducted by US and UK Universities show how practising Qigong brings overall balance and stability, is effective for Pain Management, Cardio Pulmonary disorders and intestinal problems and is used to treat Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Migraine headaches minimising chronic pain. In China, Qigong is favoured in Cancer treatments, helping patients recover from chemotherapy and in some cases to reduce medication. It is also excellent for Stress Reduction, Hypertension and Insomnia, supporting Mental Health needs, making it a good choice for rehab.

Benefits of Qigong
Benefits are many. Qigong is suitable for all people at any time of life. Traditionally Qigong is a standing practice, although it can be modified for personal needs or to develop a home practice. Qigong strengthens the muscles of the legs, arms and torso, tones the glands and internal organs as well as increasing energy levels to improve heart and lung capacity, as well as digestion and elimination, bringing an ease of flow and range of movement, stability, balance, ease of breathing to help relieve anxiety, depression and nerve pain.
Qigong offers flexibility in the body and the thinking mind encouraging more creative thinking, cultivating a deep sense of awareness of being connected not just to our own body, to nature and the world around us.
Qigong is adaptable for where you find yourself in your life right now so it may be done lying in bed as well as on a chair or standing. Offering a progressing approach for those wishing to practice at home who may be seeking rehab. If this is something you are interested in please click for Qigong here​

Christine
I've been having tummy issues, wasn't sure about coming to class. Needn't have worried.
The gentle movements of qigong
and ease of breath in stillness made me feel much better and my back and shoulders feel great.
Caroline
Kathryn is helping me stretch my mind as well as my body! I have now adjusted my car driving seat posture and office chair, and am much more mindful how I walk and move my body to pick things up off the floor. Its been a real eye opener.
