Listen on
Episode notes
Many movement systems which were practised many centuries ago are still used today. To stand the test of time, they must be beneficial. One that caught my eye a few years ago, when I was looking at ways to move that would nourish my body, rather than tax it and put stress on it, was Qigong. Annabel Deans was looking for the same reasons during lockdown and now loves teaching this incredible system.
In this episode, Annabel tells us all about this transformative practice, its roots in ancient Chinese medicine and how it integrates mindful movement, breathwork, and meditation. She passionately describes how it not only enhances physical well-being but also offers deep emotional release.
If you’ve heard of Qigong, but wondered what it was all about, what you do during a session and whether it would be beneficial for you, Annabel answers all of these questions and more.
