Heart Mind Centre

Qigong with Shirsha these past few years has shown me a deep awareness of the connection between breath and body movement. I love her friendly and perceptive teaching style and feel my good health owes much to this practice.

Kaye, Retired primary teacher

The alignment and deep breathing practices of Qigong really improve my posture and support my health. I have suffered from chronic fatigue as well as very difficult emotional states, and I find that, no matter how bad I might feel before a class, afterwards I feel cleared energetically with a lovely centred healthy feeling. I’ve had about 6 different Taiji and Qigong Teachers in the past, and I find that this teacher has a refined blend of warmth, grace and professionalism which creates a strong sense of safety in the practice. I’ve never before been so encouraged to come into a full embodied presence and I don’t imagine I would find better instruction anywhere else. Thankyou.

The mixed Qigong and Tai Chi class is a focal point of my week as a chance to reset energetically. The practice has enhanced my balance, attitude and posture. Annual health check revealed that I have recovered 6 mm in height. It has helped me reconnect with the quality of awareness that is found in meditation.

I am a doctor retired after forty years of medical practice in Byron Shire. As part of my quest in maintaining health into senior years, I have been attending Shirsha Marie's classes in Mullumbimby and Brunswick Heads and have also done a day Life-force Workshop. Shirsha is very dedicated to the healing traditions of Qigong and related Tai-chi and she makes it easy to follow with her clear demonstrations and explanations of this healing art which engages body, mind and breath.

I am most grateful for the commitment and compassion of our Tai Chi teacher Shirsha Marie. For 10 years now I have been practicing Tai Chi at the Centre here in Byron Bay and have been able to free my body from back and joint pain. Tai Chi has helped me to move to a deeper and more satisfying level of meditation. There are so many benefits for mind body and spirit from this ancient art.

Paul, Organic Farming Teacher

I have been attending Qigong classes at Heart Mind Centre for around 6 months. I feel totally safe within the class atmosphere and realize all the health benefits of this beautiful meditative style of movement for body and soul. At the completion of every class I feel so much more aware of balance, harmony and calm from within. Our teacher, Shirsha shares the most beautiful, graceful presentation of the Qigong movements, always with careful guidance and with insightful instruction. This has become a very powerful and deep experience for me. I have gratitude for her sharing of inner light and strength with me in this long journey of developing Chi.
