Workshops are usually held in Tarbert, depending on the lead tutor, though we can find alternative venues for a sufficient number of people. Each workshop will follow a broadly similar format, beginning with a warm-up for posture and breathing. During the day we’ll do more breathing exercises and taiji walking to develop sensitivity to the power of yin and yang, balance and flowing movement. The final session in the afternoon will consist of a meditation.
The day will also include a form of Qigong, with the ‘easier forms’ available in one day workshops, and the ‘more difficult’ ones requiring a weekend.
Refreshments will be available throughout the day and lunch will be available either inclusively or as a optional extra.
