Event description

Whether you are a beginner or a Tai Chi master already, these Qigong exercises offer a perfect combination of relaxation and full-body exercise. You'll enjoy reduced stress, a stronger immune system and a deeper awareness of breath and body coordination - as well as deeply effective ways to undo old injuries and strengthen the body!

Taiji Ball is an important method for practicing strength, qi, body and mind taught by Professor Pang Ming. It is a classical method for training internal organs and external muscles, bones to eliminate diseases and achieve fitness. This practice moves the universe's energy into our body. Through the open and close movements, left and right rotation, up and down movements, spine is strengthened; and its internal Qi exercise can drive the whole body to promote blood circulation, help to open and relax the spine, stretching tendons and bones, and achieve a healthy body and mind.

What’s even more important - it is fun 😊

About your teacher:

Angela is super happy to be teaching Qigong at AYU! A wonderful training and healing space.

From a competitive sporting, academic, community minded and spiritual upbringing Angela switched her main study focus to Tai Chi, Qigong, Spirituality and Buddhism in 1987, with a strong interest in health, fitness, mind-training, healing, interfaith exploration and multi cultural appreciation.

A major focus is to help everyone feel better, or at least ease even the most stubborn health conditions with an attitude of “It’s not old age, it’s old injuries!”

Teaching since 1990, Zhineng Qigong teachers then came into Angela’s life in 2000. They focus on traditional qigong, and modern science alongside traditional understandings of the unity and connectedness of all things, especially the energy in nature. She was graded Black in Tai Chi by Master Erle Montaigue, also accomplished a Qigong Master qualification, and has had to put these to good use when facing life’s challenges.

The workshop at AYU will include investigations of moving and still Qigong postures, to help activate healing new and old injuries, strengthen immune system, relaxation levels and increase Qi. They can be done sitting or standing. Suitable for all ages and levels of fitness.

Please advise Angela privately of any health issues that may affect participation, and be in contact with any questions.

Look forward to working together with you!

Zhineng Qigong draws on the best of traditional qigong, based on both modern science and centuries old understandings of the unity and connectedness of all things, especially with nature. It continues to evolve and develop to this day, and practitioners with high levels of accomplishment participate in science research involving living beings, nature, and inanimate objects.

Both Body and Mind training are used to improve health, and facilitate to heal illness of the body, mind and spirit.

Even a paralysed person can practice, as those with physical restrictions can make greater use of their mind.

Very fit people find it very useful to help facilitate rapid healing of old injuries, and develop greater strength, stamina and mental focus.

It combines a series of movements/postures both active and still, with focussed meditation. The methods and exercises work on all aspects of the body, including the internal organs, as well as the mind/spirit to improve physical health as well as our sense of well-being in a safe, effective way.

Zhineng Qigong is very effective - we can even create healthier growing and better productivity for plants with our mind and body movements :)

Even our thoughts affect our immediate and expanded environment, inside, and outside of ourselves. Powerful!~

ABOUT YOUR TEACHER IN DUNEDIN:

Still training to this day with Masters overseas, Angela Dempster-Passang came from a competitive sporting, academic, community minded and spiritual upbringing , then due to health and injuries switched her main study focus to Tai Chi, Qigong, Spirituality and Buddhism in 1987.

She has a strong interest in health, well-being, mind-training, healing, interfaith exploration and multi cultural appreciation. Also nature, happiness, and gardening!

While learning the Martial side initially, her passion has been the healing aspect - but each approach supports learning and developing the other.

A major focus is to help everyone feel better, or at least ease even the most stubborn health conditions with an attitude of
“It’s not old age, it’s old injuries” - helping people overcome old injuries is a favourite focus!

Teaching since 1990, Zhineng Qigong teachers then came into Angela’s life in 2000. They focus on traditional qigong, and modern science alongside connectedness of all things, particularly the restfulness, power, awe and influence from the exchange of natural energy, from the universe within and around us.

She was graded Black in Tai Chi by Master Erle Montaigue in the 90's, also accomplished a Qigong Master qualification the next decade, and has put these to good use when facing life’s ongoing challenges.

Workshops and classes will include investigations of moving and still Qigong postures, to help activate healing new and old injuries, strengthen immune system, relaxation levels and increase Qi. They can be done sitting or standing. Suitable for all ages and levels of fitness.

Please advise Angela privately of any health issues that may affect participation, and be in contact with any questions.

Look forward to working together with you!
