ABOUT THIS COURSE

What is Chi Kung, how does it work as a practice, and how can we begin to understand its principles through direct experience?

Chi Kung is a traditional Chinese practice involving coordinated movement, posture, breathing and attention. It encompasses a range of approaches, from gentle physical exercises to more meditative forms of internal cultivation. At its foundation, Chi Kung provides an opportunity to explore the relationship between the body, breath and awareness. Through simple movements and standing practices, we can begin to observe how we organise our posture, distribute our weight, breathe and respond to physical effort. This course introduces these principles through guided practical experience. Rather than simply copying movements, you will be encouraged to pay attention to what you are doing, notice how your body responds and develop an understanding of the purpose behind each exercise.

We will explore how small adjustments to posture, movement and breathing can influence the experience of practice, while considering the importance of relaxation, coordination and consistency. The emphasis is on learning through observation and experience, providing a foundation that you can build upon through continued practice in your own time.

INFORMATION

This course is suitable for beginners and anyone interested in exploring Chi Kung as a practical approach to movement, breathing and body awareness.

No previous experience of Chi Kung or Tai Chi Chuan is required.

The session is delivered live through an online virtual classroom, with guided demonstrations, practical exercises and opportunities to ask questions. Exercises are introduced progressively and can be adapted to individual ability. You will be encouraged to work within your comfortable range of movement and develop your practice at a pace that suits you. You do not need specialist equipment. A clear space in which to stand and move comfortably is sufficient.
