About this Event
The energy flow I teach infuses nature as we move through the seasons, incorporating the 5 elements of Water, wood, fire, earth and metal, which sit within our bodies.
Learn how to adjust and move your body in a certain way to relieve strain and stress.
Qigong is an ancient practice derived from martial arts in China, over 3000 years ago.
Qigong can benefit you, if you;
- Want to diffuse stress
- Remove knots out of your body
- Want to learn how to move energy in your body
- Quieten the mind
- Ease anxiety/stress
- You find sitting still or traditional meditation difficult
The Summer sun is now finally upon us! This season is filled with abundant energy, long days and sunshine, the most yang time of year. Summer is about expansion, growth, activity and creativity.
Summertime's element is fire, where everything is outwards and upwards in nature and also in our lives.
The heart, mind, and spirit are ruled by the fire element. Emotionally, this element is associated with the mind and its stability. The heart is the “seat” of the mind and therefore, its highest expression is love. Enthusiasm, warmth in human relationships and conscious awareness.
When out of balance or agitated this can cause issues such as stress, anxiety and depression, in our bodies.
During the Summer season sequences will focus on balancing our bodies physically and mentally. Physically so our hearts circulate our blood flow and mentally so creativity, sensitivity and expression can be freely expressed.
Anyone can practise the sequences, come join us to be whisked away for a fun, and stress free hour, following class you may feel lighter, energised and positive!

Testimonials:
Jennie's classes are an absolute joy. They are well-structured, beautifully guided and considered with a good mix of Qigong exercises, meditation, friendly chat and advice on nutrition and well-being. Jennie has a very open nature and calm energy which creates a wonderful atmosphere that immediately puts you at ease and ready to learn and absorb. No matter how I’m feeling at the beginning of the class, I always come away feeling fantastic and more connected to myself and nature. I can not recommend her classes highly enough.
Paula
Jennie is a great teacher and made the sessions informative and enjoyable. She explains and demonstrates the movements clearly and made everyone present - whether or not they had done Qigong before - feel comfortable, confident and included. I found the classes really beneficial for my wellbeing and especially for stress and sleep.
Elaine
After a very stressful week of working my corporate job, I came across this class and decided to join. I have always heard of Qigong but had never tried it.
My first experience is beyond words, it was really fun and enjoyable. Jennie was super helpful, providing detailed guidance. It was a perfect class to help me find relief and unwind from a busy week!
I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to discover their internal energy and find calm in their daily life.
