What are the classes about and what
happens?
Firstly Chigung
is about changing the way you feel.
These classes are popular with my Shiatsu clients, and are
also open to the public.
We do simple, but subtly powerful exercises which relax and
strengthen the body. This has an equally strong effect on
the mind, the aim being to build an inner relaxed alertness
and resilience to stress.
The activities are about focussing the mind and body together
to make both stronger and more flexible. This is equally useful
to people of all ages and levels of fitness, from athletes
to couch potatoes: we all start from where we are and use
it for our own ends.
There is no end
to Chigung, in several senses. The practice develops and changes
for each person all the time, so there is always something
interesting going on, physically or mentally. If you are engaged
with Chigung there is no room for boredom.
There are a number of different styles of chigung, some more
static and others more outwardly dynamic (they are all inwardly
dynamic) which suit different people. In my classes I try
to teach the fundamentals which underpin the whole practice,
so that whichever way individuals choose to take their practice,
the foundations are there to be built upon.
Within the class I like to give students experience of different
approaches so each can slant their own practice in the best
direction for them at the time. We all walk at our own speed
on our own path, whilst enjoying the company and support of
others.
Classes
currently running
I
run two parallel classes at the Stillpoint Practice.
Monday
lunchtime-------------1.00pm-2.00pm
Thursday
evening 6.30pm-7.30pm
The classes have
students at different levels and newcomers are always welcome.
The numbers are kept quite low (approx 15 ) so each person
can receive individual attention at times when they want it.
Having the classes mixed in this way does mean that new students
can rapidly absorb the warm nature of the classes and loose
any nervousness they may have come with.
Having said this, I do publicise the beginning of each academic
term, so that beginners can join in a group if they prefer.
The next courses begin:
Monday
31 January 2005 at 1.00 pm
Or
Thursday 3 February 2005 at 6.30pm
The courses run initially for eight weeks (ending Mon 21 and
Thur 24 March respectively) and cost £40. Some students
wish to join both classes and attend twice a week, this is
purely a personal decision
By the end of the course students will have the basis of a
personal practice and been taught enough of the basics to
continue into the future, determining for themselves when
they need a teacher. Many do choose to attend weekly classes
and are very welcome to do so, and continue to learn and grow,
at their own pace, within the class.
