Qigong for Letting Go

As the leaves fall from the trees, we can be inspired by the way nature lets go in autumn and gives way to a slower, more tempered pace - bringing this into the way we live, move, and breathe.

-------------------------------------------

Qigong teacher, Nikki Cottrell, is looking forward to welcoming you to this Qigong movement class & relaxation session, being held at The Bedminster Quaker Meeting House.

In this one and a half hour session, you'll practice some autumn themed Qigong movements. Nikki will then guide a relaxation session, which you can enjoy laying down, being supported by the ground beneath you.

If the weather allows, the Qigong movement practice will take place in the lovely garden area.

The theme of this session will be the Metal element, which in Qigong is the element that is associated with autumn. Metal encourages us to reflect on what is of true value to us in life and supports us to release, letting go of anything (such as emotions, physical tension or challenges, relationships and ways of being) that are no longer helpful.

Come and release, relax and move with the breath feeling numerous benefits including:

• Relaxation and stress reduction
• More ease and flow in the breath and body
• Improved circulation and blood flow
• Enchanced joint mobility and flexibility
• Muscle strengthening
• Bringing the physical, mental and emotional into harmony

Beginner friendly and also a wonderful immersion to those more familiar with Qigong.
