The Movement Our movement is a weaving together of breath and mindful flowing movement, known as Qigong. A practice accessible for all and which can be adapted to individual needs, a pure joy for all bodies. Qigong ( pronounced chee gong) is an ancient Chinese practice. A practice that integrates movement, breath and focused intention. Qigong focusses on supporting and cultivating your own life force ( Qi) to help bring balance, support health and strengthen the body's immune system. A practice that feels nourishing and nurturing and leaves you with a lasting feeling of warmth and energy, the perfect top ups for the colder seasons. The Sound bath Following the gentle movement you will come down to rest, supported by cushions, blankets and bolsters. Whilst bringing your body to rest Michele will bathe you in sound. The calming tones of the Tibetan bowls, the soothing crystal bowls and the gentle sounds of the gong sending vibrations throughout your body helping to restore balance. Percussion instruments then ground you as you emerge from deep relaxation. The sounds layered in a way which can enhance two of the main brainwaves, the alpha and the theta waves. The alpha brainwave state promoting deep relaxation , reducing stress and the theta brainwave enabling the conscious mind to soften allowing for increased creativity, emotional processing and natural healing. The waves represent the light , dreamy stage between wakefulness and sleep. The Qigong and Sound bath complimenting one another beautifully, leaving you feeling deeply relaxed, calm, brighter and more energised. The perfect pocket of calm and connection.
