Online Qigong with Feixia Yu for World Mental Health Day
This Friday 10th October our good friend and accomplished Qigong teacher Feixia Yu (who brought home two gold medals from this summer’s World Qigong Tournament in Vancouver) will be hosting a special online event to celebrate World Mental Health Day.
The session, called “Move to Heal: Gentle Qigong for Mental Wellness”, is a chance to explore how simple, mindful movement can ease stress, lift mood, and restore balance in our everyday lives.
Understanding Qi and Mental Wellbeing
Feixia will start by looking at the concept of Qi, the life force that flows through all of us. She’ll talk about how imbalances in Qi, whether it’s lacking or overactive, can affect how we feel emotionally, sometimes showing up as anxiety, low mood, or general fatigue. Understanding this connection can help us see how working with Qi through Qigong supports both body and mind.
Movement, Breath and Calm
From there, Feixia will explore the powerful link between movement, breathing, and emotional balance. She’ll show how gentle Qigong exercises, combined with mindful breathing, can create a smoother, more harmonious flow of energy. This not only helps reduce stress but also promotes a sense of calm and wellbeing — something most of us could use a little more of!
A Hands-On Experience
The event will be interactive and practical. Feixia will guide participants through a few easy-to-follow Qigong movements and some simple grounding techniques based on mindfulness and body awareness. The aim is for everyone to experience how subtle shifts in posture and breath can create noticeable changes in how we feel.
By the end of the session, you’ll have a short routine you can use at home whenever you need to restore balance, ease tension, or simply take a few moments for yourself.
