**NEWS** ONLINE Early Morning Qigong Class every Tuesday and Friday beginning 5 September. Join the millions of people worldwide who start their day with Qi (chi) movement from home!

Just to remind you of the benefits of qigong early in the morning
Here are 3 key benefits of practicing Qigong in the early morning:

@@ Boosts Energy and Vitality for the Day
Morning Qigong activates your Qi (life force energy), helping to clear stagnation from sleep and energise the body and mind—setting a calm, focused tone for the day ahead.

@@ Aligns with Natural Rhythms
According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, 5am–7:30 am is the time of the Large Intestine meridian, associated with letting go—physically and emotionally. Practicing Qigong during this window supports natural detoxification and emotional clarity.

@@ Enhances Mental Clarity and Calm
Starting the day with gentle, mindful movement and breathwork balances the nervous system, reduces anxiety, and improves concentration—creating space for a more grounded, intentional day.

ALL THIS BEFORE YOU GO TO WORK, DROP THE KIDS, GO TO PLAY PADEL!!!

Over 50? The Anti Aging Cure Nobody is Talking About!
A very informative read.

We now know that aging well isn’t about creams or supplements — it’s about maintaining function.

Professor Andy Galpin, PhD, a leading expert in kinesiology and director of the Biochemistry and Molecular Exercise Laboratory, highlights three key markers that predict how we age:

1. Grip Strength

Grip strength isn’t just about handshakes — it’s a powerful indicator of overall muscle mass and nervous system health. Declining grip strength is linked to increased risk of mortality, frailty, and even cognitive decline.

2. Avoiding Falls

A fall in later life can be life-changing. Hip fractures, in particular, are linked with a dramatic reduction in life expectancy. Prevention is vital — and highly possible with the right tools and practices.

3. Maintaining VO₂ Max

VO₂ Max refers to the maximum amount of oxygen your body can use during exercise. It's the best single predictor of long-term health and lifespan — better than blood pressure, cholesterol, or weight. But most people don’t know how to improve it, especially as they age.

So, how can Qigong help?
Qigong is an ancient Chinese movement practice designed to cultivate energy and restore balance. It supports healthy aging in multiple ways:

* Improves spatial awareness and balance, key to fall prevention
* Builds leg and core strength, especially in the quads, critical for stability
* Teaches how to fall safely — and how to get back up
* Keeps shoulders and arms supple, reducing joint stiffness
* Trains breath control, directly supporting VO₂ Max and energy efficiency
* Enhances energy management, reducing fatigue and increasing clarity

And what about Neurofeedback?

Neurofeedback is a form of brain training that helps the brain function more efficiently. Using real-time feedback, it can:
• Improve focus, memory, and clarity
• Support emotional regulation
• Assist in halting or slowing cognitive decline
• Help you feel more calm, grounded, and clear-headed

We’re offering sessions using NeurOptimal®, one of the most advanced neurofeedback systems available today. It’s safe, non-invasive, and designed to support the aging brain.

We're offering a new AGE WELL afternoon - join us!
