Conscious Movement Chi Kung (Qi Gong) Classes with Dan Brierley
Summer Term • 6 weeks • from June 21st • 10-11am (Europe/London)
Summer Term - Working with the Fire Element
Join us for our Summer Term of Conscious Movement Chi Kung with experienced instructor, Dan Brierley, who served as principal teacher of Chi Kung at the London College of Elemental Chi Kung for over 14 years.
Everyone is welcome to come along, regardless of level, it is a friendly, no-pressure environment.
The Fire Element represents the energy of summer, a time of sunshine and long days. Within the body, the fire is linked to feelings of of joy, love and laughter. The energetic quality or flow of fire is upwards and outwards.
Over the next 6 weeks we will be working with the Fire element. Through our intention, our breath, and, of course, movement. Embracing the qualities of the fire element in two main ways:
First, a more internal yin approach which will focus on the heart and all of the associations and connections we make to our hearts energy whilst honouring the traditional relationships including the quality of the heart known as Shen.
Secondly, embracing the more external yang flow of Fire which comes with the movements of the Crane. Graceful, open, flowing, energetic movements. A beautiful form that expresses all aspects of Fire whilst helping to balance the relationship of Fire to the other Elements.
All are welcome, whether experienced students or completely new to Chi Kung or Conscious Movement practice. Recordings are made available every week. We operate on a sliding-scale model of fees, and bursaries are available for those on a low-income.
