Description
Developed thousands of years ago as part of traditional Chinese medicine, Qigong combines mindful movement, controlled breathing and focused intention to enhance energy flow and overall wellbeing.
In this practical workshop, participants will learn simple, accessible techniques to calm the mind, strengthen the body and improve balance and vitality.
Guided by an experienced instructor, you will explore both dynamic and meditative forms of Qigong, from slow, fluid movements to quiet moments of breath and stillness. Leave feeling centred, relaxed and refreshed, with tools you can bring into your daily life to restore focus, energy and inner peace.
No previous experience is required and all abilities are welcome.
About the Workshop Leader
Xingyun Ba
Bar’s journey with Taiji began in Hong Kong in 1999, sparking a passion that has taken him back to mainland China numerous times to deepen his studies. As an instructor, Bar aims to give people a taste of the inner peace and physical strength that Taiji and Qigong bring to busy modern lifestyles. He loves that the practice looks effortless, masking its powerful effects, alongside its profound benefits for mental well-being.
Inspired by the Bradford Literature Festival, Bar has authored a book to help students master the Shanghai Wu Style short form. He is delighted to be sharing both Qigong and Tai Chi sessions at this year’s festival.
