“Excellent professional video. I had done Zoë’s Chi Gung group classes in the past, so had high expectations, which Zoë met and surpassed. 30 minutes of gentle exercises which can be managed by the vast majority of people regardless of current fitness level, followed by 30 minutes of guided meditation. In the current Health Crisis it is like having a personal one to one session with Zoë, in the comfort of your living room! Thank you so much!” Helen
Movement
People of all ages and spiritual beliefs are very welcome to join this deeply relaxing class. You don’t need to have any experience with mindfulness, meditation or the peaceful Chi Gung exercises to enjoy and benefit from this course. Practice how to do less and be more; be more aware, more accepting and kinder to yourself and others. Learn how to let go of physical, mental and emotional tension and stress and stay with yourself in the present moment. You’ll soon feel the benefits.
We warm up, slow down and tune in with gentle exercises while standing or sitting. Chi Gung is similar to Tai Chi and both are very popular forms of flowing exercises often enjoyed in parks in China and Japan. We practice being truly aware and mindful of our breath and movement to feel relaxed but energised.
“Zoë is a warm, inclusive and passionate teacher. It has helped me enormously with coping with anxiety. I feel back in control! Come and join us.” Shirley
Meditation
After choosing a comfortable posture on a chair, floor cushion or lying down, you are guided through a meditation, such as listening mindfully to sounds or following the breath in the body. Each technique helps to keep us present, calm the mind, relax the body and soothe the heart. You can close your eyes or have them slightly open, always doing what’s best for you.
We work through a carefully designed programme offering a wide range of simple and highly effective techniques to deepen your experience of formal meditation and to encourage mindfulness throughout your day. In the Online Memberships, there is an exclusive Library of Movement videos and Meditation audio recordings, which you can enjoy separately or together whenever suits you. If you would like a 1-2-1 or Private Group appointment, either Online or Face to Face, please click here.
“As well as practising mindfulness in daily life, it can be helpful to set aside time for a more formal mindfulness practice. Mindfulness meditation involves sitting silently and paying attention to thoughts, sounds, the sensations of breathing or parts of the body, bringing your attention back whenever the mind starts to wander. Yoga and Tai-chi can also help with developing awareness of your breathing. As well as practising mindfulness in daily life, it can be helpful to set aside time for a more formal mindfulness practice.” www.nhs.uk
