Qi Gong classes
Bristol, Starting early 2025….Watch this space!
I’m overjoyed to announce that I’ll be teaching Zhan Zhuang AKA Standing like a Tree Qi Gong classes from April. Cultivating energy through stillness and gentle movements we deepen our connection to the natural world. Afterwards, we’ll explore our surroundings with a renewed sense of awareness, appreciation and child-like curiosity. This ancient art sits perfectly with foraging and is incredibly beneficial for overall health. Sessions will take place outdoors, in amongst the trees ~ the perfect place to practise this ancient and wonderful art.
Please drop me a message if you’d like to come, or if you wish to know more! Sessions will run most weeks and will be on a donation basis. Suggested donation being £8 per session.
