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.

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.

“I have always suffered from low energy levels, but after a Qigong class I feel like a dynamo, and can run around town with plenty of juice! Qigong gives me the inner strength and focus I need. When I practice Qigong I feel like my entire body has been flooded with light and energy. Shirsha’s style of teaching is masterful, the perfect mix of physical and breathing techniques.”

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.

Through Tai Chi I experience a profound sense of myself and my world. It is a powerful vehicle that brings my mind into union with my body, my life force and into resonance with the heartbeat of life. My years training with Shirsha have been a wonderful blend of informative instruction and interesting learning. We have been incredibly lucky to have been taught by an instructor who, not only is passionate about these arts but embodies grace, patience and the rare ability to transfer her knowledge whilst retaining impeccably, the integrity of this extraordinary art.

After major back surgery 10 years ago I was afraid of exercise. I went to Qigong after hearing about an incredible qualified instructor. I was immediately comfortable with Shirsha’s patient, professional and personal style of teaching. It has been so helpful to be able to take home what she has taught me, and to be able to relax and have the correct stance as I do an exercise. In my travels I have been to many other Qigong Instructors. This one is absolutely dedicated to her profession and her students, plus being gentle and caring.  I am 70 years old.
