The Art of Effortless Ease: An Introduction to Qi Gong with Hedwig Bakker

January 17, 2021 @ 9:15 am - 3:30 pm

$50.00

Hedwig will introduce you to Qi Gong: an ancient Chinese practice of gentle movement, breathing exercises, standing postures and meditation to work skillfully with your life force energy, with the internal power that animates all physical functions and the mind.

Becoming an expert at working with your own internal energy gives you the resources to have choices and to manifest the kind of day, and the kind of life that you want to have.

Regular Qi Gong practice has many benefits and effects on a physical, emotional, mental and spiritual level such as: better health, increased vitality, less stress-more relaxation, balanced emotions and nervous system, feel energised and inspired, calm and clarity in the mind, finding connection, meaning and purpose.

Qi Gong is easy to learn and enjoyable to do. Even after a short amount of practice, you can already feel its benefits.

What to expect…

-Teachings; practice during several sessions of movement; meditation
-Learn the basics of Qi Gong and the 7 Principles of Practice
-Experience the wonderful benefits of these gentle yet powerful exercises
-Bring home some effective tools for health, vitality, well-being, relaxation and inner calm

This workshop is suitable for anyone interested in learning the beauty, effectiveness, simplicity and power of Qi Gong.

 

Everyone can benefit from the many resources that Qi Gong provides regardless of age, ability, belief system or life circumstances.
