Talks About this Course
What are the benefits of the Zhan Zhuang Qigong System and what will you learn in this Course?
Standing Qigong Static Postures For
Developing Stillness, Peace and Strength
This is an introduction level course which will give you a practice and information on the movements of energy in your body and the energetic pathways (meridians).
Zhan Zhuang Qigong works on developing the sensation of "opposing forces" as well as it gives the practitioner an understanding and an experience of one's central equilibrium.
This set of exercises will also help you to have a sensitivity to specific areas of tension in the body and gives you a practice and guide on how to relieve these tensions.
Zhan Zhuang has a strong connection with Traditional Chinese Medicine and this practice is a way of removing blockages in Qi flow in the body's meridian system.
Any habitual tensions or tissue shortening (or lengthening) is normalised by the practice, and the body regains its natural ability to function optimally. It is thought that a normalised body will be less prone to muscular-skeletal medical conditions and dysfunctions and it is also believed that Zhan Zhuang, when practiced for developing relaxation, will lead to a beneficial calming effect of the heart and mind.
This Qigong System offers a fast and effective means to recharge your energy, reduce stress, gain superior mental clarity and give you the ability to stay focused.

I love helping people break free from their stories that I believe make them unhappy, discontent and unwell. I’ve helped people from all around the World to break free from these stories and I’ve discovered that most of us have similar patterns and beliefs that are limiting us from living our full potential as a human being.
During my combined 30 years of teaching Taiji (Tai chi) and Qigong and treating people in my Acupuncture Clinic, I have learnt about how to create a higher quality of health for people and how to break their limiting belief stories.
I have dedicated my life to helping people to have a higher level of health and I encourage them to see the World in a different way. A way that inspires them to enquirer into the possibilities of how they can have a more fulfilling and happier life with a flow on effect that benefits and helps others.
