Taiji Qigong Shibashi
Weekly classes at Ridgely Retreat & Spa Participants can be of all fitness levels, abilities, and experience. Students begin where they are, eventually moving on to more complex movements that may require increased balance and flexibility. Taiji Qigong Shibashi can be practiced while seated.
Taiji Qigong Shibashi is a medical Qigong practice with tremendous health benefits. It brings calm, clarity, connection to the natural world and all living beings, and the joy of a Clear Blue Mind. It blends the beautiful, slow, rhythmic circular movements of Taijiquan and Qigong, an ancient energy cultivation practice. Taiji Qigong Shibashi is embodied, mindful movement led by the breath. It is practiced in Wuji, a state of tranquility that connects us with the flow of life within and around us.
Taiji Qigong Shibashi has 18 sequential movements. You will learn each movement and the transitions between movements to build a 20-minute lifelong daily practice. We will examine a single movement in depth each week and engage in a supportive practice, such as posture training, breathwork, or meditative Qi cultivation. We will then do the entire 18-movement form with me facing the class while offering pointers. Lastly, we do a follow-along practice with me facing away from the class, allowing students to see another angle of the form.
Questions are welcome during and after class. Students may email or text me with questions, or we can meet for private one-on-one sessions to support individual health concerns.
