Qi Gong for Everyday Life – A Gentle Practice for Health and Rejuvenation

Qigong is a gentle mind-body discipline with roots in the distant past. Relatively simple to learn, it is a gentle form of exercise for better health, rejuvenation and regeneration, and is sometimes referred to as Taoist yoga.
Baduanjin (The Eight Silk Brocades)
Baduanjin – often called the Eight Silk Brocades – is one of the few Qigong forms for which we have written evidence dating back to the Song dynasty (c. 1150 CE).
At its heart are eight movements which, when combined, create a deceptively simple whole-body exercise incorporating mindfulness and meditation; stretching, twisting and turning; rising and sinking.
When these movements are partnered with deep, rhythmic breathing, they form a straightforward routine that can have a profound effect on physical health, energy levels and emotional well-being.
The form we’ll be exploring over these eight weeks of June and July is equally suitable for absolute beginners and experienced Qigong practitioners alike: it is simple, yet endlessly rich.
