During the workshop we’ll learn and practice Daoyin exercises (warm-ups). Daoyin is a form of Chinese Yoga which emphasizes stretching and loosening exercises to help prepare the body and mind for a more active practice.
The Qigong exercises are from the Shibashi series. Shibashi means 18 movements. In general, Qigong (pronounced ‘Chi Kung’) is a powerful type of health exercise, which has been practiced for centuries in China. It is based on gentle movements that are specifically designed to benefit and balance health. The theory of Qigong rests on the ancient principles of Yin-Yang and the 5-elements. However, the term Qigong is relatively new. The word is made up of two Chinese words: “Qi” and “Gong”.
Together Qigong means “working with life force” or “cultivating energy”. Qigong can be used as a mean of developing the relationship between mind and body, melting tensions and relaxing. This way of working supports all the systems of the body and the individual as a whole. By removing the tensions and "holding-on" that get in the way we can dissolve blockages in the Qi system, thus re-establishing the proper flow of Qi. When our Qi is strong, we feel and look vibrant and healthy.
