More Detail about the Classes

Qigong: Simple, gentle, slow, flowing movements, co-ordinating with the breath. We practise Five Animals Qigong, Five Daoist Exercises, Dragon Plays with a Pearl, Da Wu or Great Dance and a stretching exercise called "Shen Jin Ba Gu". for more information please visit the Qigong page.

Somatics: Subtle, controlled, slow movements that connect your centre to your periphery and help you to release muscular tension. Most of the movements are done lying on the floor so you need a mat. For more information visit the Somatics and Clinical Somatics pages.

Tai chi: Slow, flowing sequences that are martial in origin. We practise Chen styled Tai chi, the oldest style of Tai chi, and are studying the Laojia form. We do silk reeling exercises as a warm up and work on one or two patterns per session. For more information visit the Tai chi page.

Bagua: this is a form of Tai chi performed walking in a circle. It is very good for balance and co-ordination. The positions and movements are flowing and graceful, with names such as "sparrow hawk soars into the sky" and "white snake coils in the grass", based on animal movements. It is completely symmetrical. For more information visit the Bagua page.
