Do you want to meditate, but have trouble sitting still? Do you like the idea of yoga, but feel like you don't have the flexibility or want to get on the floor? Qigong might be for you!

Learn the principles of tai chi through a simple qigong, Shi-Ba-Shi, also known as the 18 Movements. Suitable for all ages from 10 years upwards and most fitness levels. Children under 16 must be accompanied by a participating adult. All exercises can be done standing or seated.

The 18 Movements qigong is a series of 18 different movements - each repeated several times - and joining together with coordinated breathing into one flowing and relaxing exercise set. The movements are gentle and easy to perform requiring nothing more than to be able to move your arms and lift your feet.

You will learn a tai chi principle and each of the movements in the sequence in detail during the workshop, and hopefully finish feeling relaxed and energised!

There will be time to ask questions and receive individual feedback during the workshop. Will include a short break for morning tea - tea, coffee and milk provided
