QIGONG & NEIGONG
Training for Mind & Body
The current monthly Qigong and Neigong classes are focusing on the Foundations of Qigong
and what makes Qigong (also Tai Chi and other "internal" styles) work.
A lot of people who practise Qigong and Tai Chi etc. think that just doing the moves and making them look impressive to others is what makes them what they are, but it's actually how they are practised and how they effect your body and mind to make you healthy and strong which is what distinguises people practising something which gives you vigor and vibrancy, as opposed to something which looks good to beginners, but is of little to no benefit to their health, or anybody elses.
​
These classes will train people in the details of specilised biomechanics and methodology which make Qigong etc. unique. Clear explanantions and lots of practise time will give everyone the opportunity to learn and develop real skill.
​
Each class is held on the first Tuesday of each month in Flitwick Bedfordshire
​
Qigong and Neigong have been used as a physical practise to improve health for thousands of years. Individual exercises can be practised on their own or in a sequence as a way for practitioners to improve and maintain all aspects of their wellbeing. Although they originated in the East, it has spread all over the world and is practised daily by millions of people who seek to gain its benefits.
Tai Chi (which may sometimes look similar to Qigong) is actually a fighting art, a martial art and was adapted by different people to meet their interests and needs over time. As part of its development, movements and principles from Qigong and Neigong systems (and in some schools, meditation practises) were infused into Tai Chi which made it more health and wellbeing focused. This is what has made it the popular health discipline it is today, so a good health based Tai Chi system, will have Qigong and Neigong at its core.
​
People use Qigong and Neigong as effective health practises, to improve their Tai Chi, Yoga, Meditation or any other training they participate in, as well as a gentle recovery exercise from tougher sports and activities; a form of active rest.
​
During some of the classes there may be a short guided meditation, or breathing practise, which is usually practised whilst seated.
​
People sensitive to energy will find that Qigong and Neigong give them a framework for
understanding and developing their awareness.
