All About QiFlow with Bev Welch: Embrace the Change & Find Balance

This 8 week course will introduce you to the amazing benefits of Qigong Flow & Meditation. I will teach you how to use these ancient practices to work with your unique body to relieve stress, hot flushes, brain fog and joint pain while improving muscle tone, bone health & general wellbeing.

What is Qigong?

Qigong (pronounced chi- gong) is often referred to as “Chinese Yoga”, moving meditation & dynamic relaxation. Using a combination of slow flowing movements, body tapping, the breath & intention we will encourage the free flow of energy or Qi through the body. Qigong leaves you feeling fit, energised, calm & strong. It encourages restorative sleep, good digestion, clear mind, vitality & happiness!

Who is it for?

Anyone can benefit from a regular Qigong flow practice, though you are encouraged to go at your own pace. Qigong masters say that in order to get the Qi to flow one must only use 70% effort.

Benefits : Studies have shown that Qigong
