Nottingham Confucius Institute is delighted to offer UoN staff and students an opportunity to take part in a Tai Chi and Qigong taster session at lunchtime on one of the University campuses: Jubilee Campus (10 May), KMC (17 May) and University Park (24 May).
Join Angela, gold-medallist European Champion in Health Qigong and popular Yang-style Tai Chi instructor, for a 45-minute taster session, showcasing how the traditional Chinese practice of Tai Chi and Qigong can benefit body, breathing and mind.
Each session includes:
- Gentle body mobilisation, calming the breathing and mind;
- Step-by-step instruction, learning specific health benefits along the way;
- Flowing through the full routine to experience stillness in motion, accompanied by flowing music.
These taster sessions are ideal for novices to Tai Chi and Qigong. All movements are slow, gentle and low-impact, accessible to all, with the emphasis on working to your own comfort levels. Wearing loose comfortable clothing, wearing flat shoes, or working in bare feet, there is no need for special equipment; just bring yourself and your enthusiasm as Angela shares her passion for Tai Chi and Qigong with you!
