What is Qigong (Movement Meditation) - and how can it help me?
Movement Meditation is a lovely way to describe the style of Tai Chi Qigong we practice.
Many people have heard of Tai Chi and conjure up an image in their minds when they think of it.
Qigong is a style of Tai Chi and translates as 'energy' (Qi) 'work' (Gong). The tradition of Qigong practised by CLUB CHI is Medical Qigong, from which the Shibashi set is derived.
Tai Chi Qigong calms, stimulates, revitalises, relaxes, re-balances and strengthens - it encompasses the yin and yang of all things.
Tai Chi Qigong ('Movement Meditation') is a Healing Art and the Chinese will perform Qigong to help with a range of health-related issues, including: insomnia, indigestion, lethargy, mental exhaustion, depression and anxiety, rheumatism and arthritis.
The movements within a Qigong (Movement Meditation) session are performed slowly and gently, yet teach your body balance and Co-ordination.
The softness of each movement within a Qigong (Movement Meditation) session moves away from the Western approach of 'no pain, no gain' and feeling you must push yourself to the limits to gain benefit.
Sessions focus on strengthening the body evenly - both inside and out.
The 3 aspects of Tai Chi Qigong are meditation, movement and breathing. The movements are 'energy meditations' which are therapeutic as they calm yet refresh the body and mind.
What to expect
The movements within a Qigong (Movement Meditation) session are performed slowly and gently, yet teach your body balance and co-ordination.
Please bring a bottle of water with you. You may also wish to bring a yoga mat for additional comfort underfoot. Wear something comfortable and which allows you to move easily. Layers are sometimes beneficial, so you can regulate your body temperature more easily.

I joined Club Chi a few months ago and was attending in person prior to the lock down. I was really pleased Lorraine was able to set up access online once we werent able to actually attend the sessions, as I missed the opportunity. 2019 was a very difficult year for me and I felt I needed something to help me re-establish myself. The idea of Tai Chi had always appealed to me, but I had never had the opportunity before, so I was pleased when I found this class. The sessions provide me with the one hour during a week where I just focus on how I feel and the here and now. It provides calm to concentrate on me and helps relieve the tension of the day to day. After the session I feel relaxed and calm which helps me to refocus on what is important. I am really pleased I found this class and hope to continue to experience its benefits for some time to come. I would highly recommend anyone to give it a go. Its all inclusive for any age and fitness level. Keep up the good work Club Chi

Ive been doing one of the online club chi classes weekly for a couple of months now and its become an integral part of my week. I’d never done tai chi before but was made to feel welcome and Ian made it easy to pick up the moves and link them together over time. In the current crazy world especially, I love the relaxed inward focus of the class and I always feel both physically and mentally refreshed afterwards. Keep up the good work guys!

I just spent the day with Club Chi at their Virtual Vitality Day. The day was a wonderful experience. There was lots of content and things to learn but best of all was the end result. By the end of the day, I felt thoroughly relaxed and chilled both physically and emotionally. Make this day part of your self-care and it will be totally worth your while. Thank you guys x
