Join Adéle for a special gathering - HARNESS the support of the Winter Solstice energies, CONNECT with your inner silence and AWAKEN the well of wisdom within.You will also LEARN simple PRACTICES to SUPPORT YOU during the WINTER SEASON to:
* WARM your body instantly,
* BOOST your immune system,
* STRENGTHEN your lungs and
* CONNECT within.
Why PAUSE and CONNECT over WINTER SOLSTICE?
Just as trees shed their leaves back to the earth, which turn into fertilizer for the soil and help fuel new growth in the spring,
winter solstice reminds us to honour taking time to slow down,
and release what is no longer serving us,
to recharge and inspire new growth for tomorrow.
Over the Winter Solstice time, the sun appears lowest in the sky, and we receive less sunlight and warmth. This is also when the days are shorter and the nights are longer.
It urges us to honour the darkness that shrouds the natural world. This darkness isn't merely absence; it's a canvas for introspection and reflection.
THIS SESSION WILL INCLUDE:
* Gentle 'Mindful Movement Qi Gong' practices to warm up the body instantly and generate strong flowing life force energy
* Lung strengthening breathing practices
* Immune boosting practices
* Your “well of inner silence and wisdom" meditation
No previous experience is needed; Start from where you are.
Qi Gong’s non-impact movements can be practiced at any age and any fitness level.
The ancient art of Chinese Qi Gong medicine restores, strengthens and rejuvenates your energy, body, heart and mind.

WHAT IS QI GONG?
QiGong / Chi Kung (pronounced chee-gung) are exercises and healing techniques that were developed centuries ago by Chinese masters. They comprise gentle movements, controlled breathing and meditation practices and are generally done standing or adjusted as “sitting or lying down” practices for people in recovery or with impairments.
Qi is life force energy. Gong means to practice. So Qi Gong is the practice of restoring the body and dissolving energy blockages, bringing unity between body, mind, breath and spirit through strengthening the natural flow of life force energy.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS of practising QiGong regularly?
* Increased life force energy (Qi) for overall vitality and wellbeing
* Strengthened immune system and organs
* Improved physical fitness, balance, flexibility and breathing
* Toned and strengthened muscles, releasing knots and tension
* Relaxed and regulated central nervous system, releasing physical & emotional stress and fast-track recovery from adrenaline burn-out
* Increased mental clarity, focus, resilience, calmness, inner peace and wisdom
* Improved management of anxiety, depression, pain and chronic health problems
* Increased longevity
* More integrated body-mind-heart-breath-spirit
* Increased mindful awareness and connection with ourselves and life, being present in the precious Now
