Qi Gong & The Energy Body
23rd - 27th September 2026
with Sophie Johnson
This course can be done in isolation as a stand alone event, but also my plan is that it will function as preparation for those of you who would like to come to the intensive Nei Gong training in November. It is fine to just do this course or just the November one, but they are a perfect pair!
We will focus upon building the fluidity and power of the Yang Qi
Clearing/flushing out the channels
Utilising environmental qi specifically for cleansing and harmonisation
Preparing the mind for longer periods of meditation.
Nei Gong Evening Classes with Sophie
These will be on most Wednesday evenings at 6.30pm.
There is also a regular Meditation 6:30am on Mondays.
