Announcement. The Qigongers are back baby

If the weather cooperates, we’ll even be flowing outside on the grass having a face-off with the cows.

Fresh air, slow movement, and good company (the cattle) — the perfect way to welcome spring. ☀️

Qigong, was originally intended to be practised outside like so many other ancient healing methods.

Nothing beats the feeling of fresh grass under foot -
🦶It connects you with the Earth's energy.
🦶Lowers stress
🦶Increases energy levels.

What a fab emoji 🦶

After months of hibernation, far too many loaves of bread and stews consumed, it’s finally time to break out and dance among the daffodils.
