Brinn, Manager

I have been practicing Tai Chi and Qigong for 1.5 years with Shirsha with great benefit to mind and body. Her teaching style transmits the finer points and internal aspects of these arts very well, while keeping a calm and respectful environment. For me Tai Chi and Qigong are a perfect continuation of my internal development, martial and body maintenance  practices.

Natalie, Health Worker

I came to these classes as a novice to Qigong and have found this to be a beautiful and relaxing introduction. Shirsha’s style of teaching has been very personalised for all levels which has made it an easy adjustment for me as a beginner. I have noticed immediate positive effects on my own health and mind and body - I have suffered from low energy and heart palpitations but since starting these classes this has reduced significantly and I have much more energy and balance in my mind and emotions. I leave each class feeling rejuvenated and full of vitality. Qigong is a joy to learn and practice.

Judy, Creative Arts Teacher

Qigong makes me feel very good and is so enjoyable to do. The movements are  easy and so uncomplicated, but seem to work in profound ways. I feel better and better, more relaxed and more energised as the Qigong session progresses, and the feeling of vitality lasts all day! I have much more strength now. I feel lighter and clearer in my mind, happy and positive. My shoulder stiffness is gone and my eyesight and digestion have improved. We are so lucky to have a teacher with a true depth of knowledge who instructs with sensitivity and clarity, deftly catering to all ability levels.

Io, Lawyer

Hapkido excites me because, on a practical level, it is a very efficient and precise martial art that conditions the body to be more vital and the mind to be more focused. What also impresses me is that the way in which the art is taught is a profound approach to knowledge and learning - we are constantly encouraged to engage on deeper levels and to cultivate an insightful mind. I love the respectful and joyous relationships with training partners that are emerging in the non-competitive environment.

Deb, Organic Chef

I cannot recommend the Qigong taught at Heart Mind Centre highly enough. Each class is like a deeply healing massage and meditation. Deeply healing because the Qigong movements open up the channels for energy to flow throughout all areas of my body. And meditative because my mind becomes single focused on the exercises and the breathing. Although I have always enjoyed strong physical exercise I can feel that this is actually more powerful in its capacity to keep me fit and healthy.

Megan, Management

I have been attending Shirsha's classes since February 2018 and practicing most days each week at home or by the river. Shirsha is an excellent teacher, her style is warm, clear and very thorough and her depth of knowledge is evident. I have received so much benefit from Qigong. It centres me, relaxes and calms my nervous system and energises me, all at the same time. I sometimes have issues with restricted breathing which this practice helps. It's even improved my eye sight as attested by my optometrist. Thank you Shirsha!
