With the New Year approaching, are you feeling the need to move more? Without joining a gym, jumping around, getting red in the face, or tying yourself in knots doing yoga??

Then consider Qigong, an ancient Chinese slow-moving, gentle exercise, practised in a standing position with no lying on the floor required. Similar to Tai Chi, Qigong is a calm, meditative way to boost breathing, improve circulation, and enhance mobility.

I am a Level 2 qualified Qigong teacher, and will be launching 2 new classes in the 1st week of January.

All classes start at 10am, with a 1st class offer of just £5, thereafter £8 cash or card, and no booking – just turn up and pay as you go.

Tuesday: Sandown & Lake – Lions Club Hall

Wednesday: Wootton Bridge – Methodist Hall

Friday: East Cowes – Parkside Pavilion

Dōngzhì (Winter Solstice) falls on December 21 in the Western calendar. This period marks the shortest day and longest night of the year, after which the days become longer again. The character "冬" stands for "winter", while "至" means "arrival" or "reaching" - a poetic description of the deepest point of darkness and the beginning of the new light.

The winter solstice has been an important turning point in the Chinese calendar for centuries, symbolising the transition from darkness to light, from cold to warmth, and from stillness to new movement. In Daoist philosophy, this moment is seen as a point of balance: Yin (阴), the energy of darkness, reaches its peak before gradually giving way to Yang (阳), the energy of light.

🌿Qigong is a gentle body practice that works the body in an integral way, without impact and with total consciousness.
In adults and older people, it especially helps:

• improve balance and stability when walking
• strengthen legs and hips, reducing the risk of falls
• Relieve joint pain in the knees, shoulders and spine
• improve mobility and posture
• coordinate breathing and movement, promoting relaxation
• Reduce tension, stress and body stiffness

Each posture is performed in a slow and controlled manner, respecting the body's limitations, promoting safety, confidence, and overall well-being.
The goal is not to force, but to regain mobility, stability and calm through conscious movement.
