Workshops in London

Blurb:

The workshops will focus on the principles of Tai Chi, particularly correct bodily alignment through relaxation, poise, rooting and interaction. When the body is correctly aligned then gravity and its inevitable kick-back from the Earth naturally cleanse the mind, cleave the body into its component parts, store and issue energy from the various centres (chakras), and encourage an awareness, at once immediate and developing, of the interacting energies of the particular situation and the general condition. Then our actions – our creative endeavour – issue and spring naturally from this alignment (rather than the calculating mind), casting off the past in the process of moving on.

Physically the work will concentrate on relaxing and spreading the feet and hands, softening the hips, unravelling the coccyx, loosening the sacro-iliac so that the pelvis can open and close, freeing the shoulder girdle so that the heart can leap out of the chest, and opening up the vision/awareness from the back of the skull.

The work will then enable energy to flow and express more freely, revealing simple but profound energetic truths, and showing us our place within this energetic reality.

From this place spirit and heart readily and openly express themselves, taking us into areas of creativity, self-expression and communication.
