The Art of QIGONG - Qi Walking

Thursday 21st May at 2pm

We take the act of WALKING for granted, and we don't appreciate the skill it takes until we start losing balance, strength, co-ordination, stamina, joint flexibility, nervous system regulation, proprioception, cardio and core stability.

"It's your road and yours alone, others may walk it with you, but no one can walk it for you." – Rumi

"Walk as if you are kissing the Earth with your feet." – Thich Nhat Hanh

"All truly great thoughts are conceived by walking." – Friedrich Nietzsche

In our Qigong class today, we embrace the concept of Qi Walking and movements to better proprioception, nervous system regulations, enhances balance, builds strength and becomes a form of mindful walking, or walking meditation.

SHRINK WORKOUT -- CORTISOL STORED AROUND BELLY

Sat 16th May at 10.15am

STRESS causes cortisol to be stored, known as "Cortisol belly" . This term better describes stubborn weight gain around the midsection linked to chronically high levels of the stress and therefore high levels of hormone cortisol - if not burnt off, gets stored.

In our SHRINK workout today we target this specific area of the body, as well as working our whole body -- by opting for low-to-moderate intensity, steady-state movement (LISS) and mind-body exercises!

CORTISOL RESET WORKOUT.

The Art of Qigong Thurs 14th May at 2pm

Five Element : Stress & Cortisol Reset

Life can become stressful at times.... Stress promotes Cortisol, a stress hormone, which can play havoc on the body, mind, emotions, and sleep.

Five Element Qigong acts as a potent stress-cortisol reset by combining gentle Qigong movement + rhythmic breathing, and focussed intent to transition the body from a "fight-or-flight" state to a "rest-and-digest" state.

Research and studies indicate that regular Qigong practice significantly lowers cortisol levels, reduces anxiety, and enhances emotional balance by addressing specific organs and their related emotions.
