A Qigong taster session with Ruth Stephenson
Ruth will introduce Shibashi, a set of gentle exercises that will stimulate energy flow within the body, which in time will improve the mental and physical health of the participant.
There will be two sessions - starting at 11am and 1pm. The sessions take place near our village green, so please arrive at the Museum at least 10min before to allow time to get there.
The hour-long sessions will follow a typical Qigong class starting with a gentle head to toe warm up which will prepare the mind and body for learning the first few moves of Shibashi, and finishes with a pat down. This will give an excellent insight into the approach to learning and practicing the technique. Practiced regularly, the series of movements become a moving mediation.
It is recommended that you wear comfortable clothing and flat shoes to the taster session.
Ruth started her Tai Chi Qigong journey over 25 years ago and is now a qualified instructor in several forms of Health Qigong.
