Insightful Qi Gong & Tai Chi

5 Weekly Evening Sessions 7pm – 9pm starting Tuesday 5th November- Tuesday 3rd December 2024

With Jacky Seery

This 5 week course – Mindful Qigong with Insight continues our movement journey into deeper QiGong practices.  We will explore being present in the body as we introduce Insight practices into our movement, noticing how we feel about how we feel in movement and resting in the midst of our movement.

In our Mindfulness Training – awareness of the body helps us to remain present and can reveal a multitude of emotions that we are experiencing or even hiding. This new awareness provides us with the opportunity to give some space and kindness to any pain or tight sensations we are experiencing and tune into the innate wisdom of the body.  This ultimately provides us with the opportunity to respond differently.

We will learn new flowing Qigong sequences as we deepen our awareness of the meridians, energetic field and chakras. We will work more closely with the elements and learn two new flows and using yin and yang energies and deepen into the Tai Chi sequence.

The movements will be gentle and easy to follow.

The course will take place on Zoom over 5 evening sessions from 7-9pm.

This course counts as Continued Professional Development (CPD) for Mindfulness teachers wishing to learn more about mindful movement in their practice and teaching.

You will need to have completed Mindful Qigong or Mindful Qigong with Compassion to join this course so you have the basics which we deepen into on the Mindful Qigong Insight.
