Angela teaches Chi kung classes once a week on Wednesday evenings. These 60min classes are taught in a block of 1 class per week over 8 weeks. There is a progression over the 8 weeks to work through the different aspects of the body, including accessing the major channels and meridians as well as learning about the health of the organs of the body. These classes differ from some Chi kung classes in that you will also be taught some of theory, living anatomy (experiential awareness of the body) and personal health uses behind some of the postures and movements. Classes are kept small to allow for personal guidance time with students.

Chi kung (or often written Qi gong) extends back more than 4000 years. It is a practice of aligning the breath, movement and awareness for exercise, healing and martial art training. Tai chi and Kung fu have their origins in Chi kung.

Chi is a form of living energy. Kung refers to the discipline of work, so Chi kung is the practice of working with the living energy of the body to promote health and balance.

Chi kung involves body movements (fast movements to increase energy and body strength and slow movements to calm and stretch the body), slow walks for balancing the body, standing/lying/sitting meditations (to slow the mind and centre the body, all combined with breath awareness to become present with the sensations of the body and state of the mind. This encourages mastery of the body and mind to enhance balance within the body and organs and peace within the mind.

Students note that they sleep better, have more energy in the day and are able to cope better with the stresses of life. They also report clearer thinking and less activation in their body.
