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.

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 Take this Workshop?

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.

What Will I Learn Specifically During this Workshop?

*Foundational theory and principles of Taoist Medical Qigong which will help you develop your understanding of how a sustained Qigong practice elicits the healing response and supports wellbeing.

*Standing/Seated Meditation and Breathing Techniques for deepening internal awareness, regulating the nervous system, controlling the immune response and revitalising the body.

*A combination set of Meridian Qigong, 8 Trigram Qigong and 5 Animal Qigong.

This set is designed to restore & support Qi flow throughout the body, moving with smooth, continuous flowing movements, reaching one’s full range of motion in the trunk and upper limbs, using ground energy to stay rooted, by feeling rooted from the feet and legs, wringing out the Meridians like a towel, balancing and much more.
