Pilates, Tai Chi and Qi Gong

Pilates

We regret that, for the time being, there will no further pilates classes. (from 5th August onwards).
Pilates uses breath and co-ordination to work deep postural muscles, rebalancing the body and bringing it into correct alignment.

Qi Gong with Loz Speyer

Mon eve 5pm – 6.15. No class from Mon 26 July to 30 Aug.
Class restarts Mon 6 Sept.
In Qi gong we practise movements and meditations designed to link in with the pure universal Qi: in this way our energy is cleared, balanced and strengthened and problems are dissolved. The practice meets each person at their own level and takes them forward from there.

Tai chi with Jazmin Velasco

Thurs lunchtime 1 – 2.15
T’ai chi chuan follows three paths of meditation, health and combat. Meditation calms the mind and heart to relax the body and allow a focus on the precise execution of the movements of chi kung. This improves health, promotes rejuvenation and strengthens the body. Movements are applied in combat, T’ai chi chuan having originated as a martial art.

It is an ancient Chinese practice that incorporates the mind body and spirit. Tai chi is a continuous series of postures. Practised slowly and gracefully it produces deep relaxation so that the internal energy (chi)can circulate more freely. It promotes a calm stress-free mind and flexible body.
