These classes offer you routines and exercises to create a practice of your own.
The weekly class will be a powerful way for us to connect and explore energy work more deeply.
Each week will focus on one tradition. There will be variety to keep it interesting and eventually you will learn which exercises suit you best.
 From Shiatsu we will use "Do-In" and "Makka-ho".
Do-In is a sequence of self-massage and tapping which wakes up the surface and muscular levels of our body. It raises energy which is important for our immune systems and generally makes us feel more awake.
 Makka-ho is stretching. The stretches we use (some standing, some on the floor) aim to improve the internal flow of energy around the body. They may seem like Yoga but the focus is slightly different. We will look at postures used in every day movements, such as lifting a heavy object or resting in contemplation, and then use a stretch to make the movement easier.
From Aikido we will look at "Ki development" exercises. Ki is Japanese and Aikido (which means The way of Harmony) is a non-aggressive martial art which aims to harmonise with the energy of an opponent. We will not be looking at the martial art but at the exercises which help to create free flow of energy and improve our mental focus.
Tai Chi is well known and we will use its gentle movement to improve our balance and look closely at how we move.
Qi-Gong literally means energy work and we will learn The Eight Strands of the Brocade (Taoist) and Shibashi (Tai Chi qi gong).
Please bring a duvet or something soft to lie on and wear loose-fitting, comfortable clothing.
We will be working on the floor most of the time, please contact me if you have any concerns about your physical ability.
