Last Saturday 27th November saw us welcome guest speaker Feixia Yu of the UCLAN Confucius Institute for an afternoon of Qigong.
The afternoon was dedicated to the ancient Shaolin Qigong sequence known as Yi Jin Jing. The English translation of the name is "change muscles and sinews" and the sequence can be challenging, with deep stretches and difficult to maintain postures. As with most Qigong, it can be practised in a less strenuous form for health purposes and Feixia made sure that everyone was able to challenge themselves individually, regardless of their experience. The group, aided by periodic breaks for custard creams and green tea, worked really hard and, judging by the smiles on the faces at the end, everybody had a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon.
We hope to welcome Feixia back for another session in the New Year so keep an eye on our Seminars page for updates about planned events next year.
