Come and find out why Qigong is catching on like wildfire as a sustainable wellness practice.
Take action today to learn more about how these ancient practices benefit you physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Bring your curiosity and enthusiasm to learn something new.
What is Qigong? Qi means Energy, and Gong is Cultivation, so Qigong is a way of cultivating your energy. Taoist Medical Qigong is an ancient meditative exercise system for enhancing health and well-being. The foundations of this system are rooted in Classical Chinese Medicine, Lao Tzu Taoism, the wisdom of the I-Ching, and contemplation of the natural world. The White Tiger Qigong Academy adds a modern perspective of applying sport & exercise science to the practices.
The beauty of this Qigong is that you can approach it from any level of fitness, and any age. I will NEVER force you into any position, and will expertly guide you according to your capabilities.
How can Qigong Work for Me? This Qigong has multiple benefits, including:
* Promoting deep relaxation
* Sharpening concentration
* Boosting vitality & energy
* Increasing range of motion
* Improving sleep
* Enhancing the immune system
* Building strength & stamina
* Strengthening digestion
Why Should I Practise Qigong? You will learn a set of Qigong exercises, breathing techniques and meditations to help keep the body energised & strong, sharpen the mind & hone the spirit. These practices can empower you to:
* cultivate self-knowledge
* foster self-love
* self-regulate
* find mental, emotional and physical balance
* restore health
* enhance well-being
* experience personal freedom
* attain peak performance
Studies have shown that the chemicals which indicate stress responses in the human body have clearly decreased from just ONE 1-hour Qigong session! Anecdotally, people have told me that they feel more energised, grounded and balanced after their very first session and beyond.
