Flow into Spring

19th-25th March 2024 / Daily drop-in practice for 7 days

7 day online Qigong and flow practice to support ourselves through the transition into Spring.

Drop-in classes or join me every day!

Open to beginners, and anyone with a curiosity in moving and finding flow through their movement and breath.

We start on the Equinox - 19th March- aligning with the natural rhythm of nature and a gradual return to light in the Northern Hemisphere.

We will work with:

  • the ‘Silken 8 Brocades’

  • whole body fluidity and flow, with a focus on our joints (the wood element of Spring governs tendons and ligaments) and lymph flow

  • some shaking and bouncing

Timings:

8:30am-9:20am: 19/ 20/ 21/ 22/ 23/ 25 March

later start on Sunday 24th: 9:00-9:50

Sliding scale pricing:

drop-in: £6-£12

full 7 days: £40-£75

Training & Study:

I am a qualified Qigong instructor through the Bristol School of Shiatsu and a Somatic Movement Educator through the school of Body-Mind Centering® (Soma in France & EMA in UK).

I first came to taichi in 2002, whilst studying movement for performance with Phillip Zarrilli (‘making the body all eyes’: tai chi-Wu form, yoga & kalarippayattu, a martial art form from Kerala).

I’ve been lucky to learn from many great teachers since, and I bring 20 years of embodied and conscious movement practice to my classes, including yoga, feldenkrais and breath work. I have taught in a wide range of settings, from experienced movers to ‘beginners’. I bring my passion for all things anatomy and physiology to my classes.

I am part of the 2024 cohort receiving year-long Qigong mentorship from Mimi Kuo-Deemer.
