Qigong Craven Arms

15/03/2025

Like Tai Chi, Qigong has its roots in ancient China. Comprising similarly slow, gentle, smooth movements, Qigong is designed to relax you and reduce stress, while enhancing the flow of your Qi (your life-force energy). Regular practice can also help you improve your balance, coordination and mobility. The exercises can be done sitting or standing, depending on your physical capacity, making Qigong ideal for all ages (over 18s only).

Classes are on Wednesday mornings 10:30 to 11:30 at the Methodist Church Hall, 10 Corvedale Road, Craven Arms, Shropshire SY7 9ND. So, if you would like to book a free taster class or would like any more information, please get in touch or see my website:

Just back from leading a couple of sessions at the amazing EarthSpirit Healing Retreat near Glastonbury. Introduced a great group of people to Dragon and Tiger Qigong with some components from the Dragon & Tiger Meet exercise, all watched over by a very Celtic-looking dragon. Second day was jumping into the mouth of the dragon, taking the mind into the body with sinking chi exercises and an intro to basic outer dissolving. Thanks for the invite Janet O’Carroll.

Qigong Workshop in Bramley
Sunday 27 February 2022 14:30-17:30

If you haven’t done Qigong with me before, I’ll be introducing the Dragon & Tiger Qigong system at this workshop. If you already know (or have forgotten!) Dragon & Tiger, we’ll be looking at revising, refining and improving your form, adding additional components/movements or looking at some different Qigong practices, as appropriate for you. The Dragon & Tiger Qigong system is some 1,500 years old, and is specifically designed to release stagnant Qi (your internal energy) for more vibrant health and wellbeing.

Regular Qigong practice can bring many benefits into your life. These include:
• Relaxing your mind and body
• Giving you the tools to help relieve the stresses of modern living
• Increasing your sense of health and wellbeing
• Getting you out of your head and into your body
• Improving blood flow
• Opening up the soft tissues of the body
• Benefitting the internal organs
• Releasing stagnant Qi

Workshop details
The venue for the workshop is Brocas Hall, which is a couple of minutes’ walk from Bramley rail station and it has its own car park. Being situated midway between Reading and Basingstoke, it’s really easy to get to. The cost is £45 and places will only be available if you book and pay in advance.
