Chi Yoga sessions are suitable for beginners or those with some experience in yoga or tai chi who want to have a deeper understanding of how to support the health and wellbeing of their mind and body. The class offers you the opportunity to learn practices to both energise and calm the body and mind, which you can use outside the sessions to maintain states of relaxed alertness. Each session will start with fun warm ups and activating movements which will prepare you for an Energy Block Release sequence. The sequences along with other yoga and tai chi practices will work progressively on physical, psychological and energetic levels to build deeper strength, flexibility and alignment of the mind and body. The session will end with a four stage relaxation which hopefully will leave you relaxed, alert and rejuvenated!
