Tai Chi, Qigong and Qi Power

Take health and well-being into your own hands

Welcome to comprehensive training programmes in the soft-style martial art of Tai Chi, the gentle exercise art of Qigong, and Qi Power – my holistic, strengthening martial arts class. Whether you choose a gentle or stronger class, all promote a powerful healing of the body-mind system. I provide a safe, supportive and non-competitive training environment which allows students to develop relaxed power, self-reflection, emotional balance and a calm, peaceful mind.

My classes offer systematic training in a variety of strong and soft energy building methods. Although these energising techniques are working right from the first class, it can take a few weeks to really feel the effects. From then on, with sustained practise, the systems steadily accelerate into dynamic internal energy workouts. Over time you can expect your practise to undergo profound transformations. As with all true arts, patience and commitment are required to gain the most benefit from Tai Chi, Qigong and Qi Power.

Tai Chi classes offer an experience of stillness in action, through softly flowing, circular movements based on alignment, relaxation and meditation.

Qigong classes offer an experience of harmony in motion, through gentle, restorative self-healing practices which integrate body, breath and mind.

Qi Power classes offer a more dynamic training for strength & vitality, through a fusion of martial arts, qigong and body psychotherapy moves.

Classes run weekly during NSW school Terms

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.

Judy, Creative Arts Teacher

Sera, Artist

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.

Sera, Artist

Dawn, Retired Nurse

Qigong is absorbing. It enables me to develop stillness and calm in my body. I had suffered from poor posture and not feeling stable and connected through my body. I had tried other Qigong teachers but found that often the methods would oppose my body in a manner which was aggressive, forcing my body into the forms and positions. With Shirsha I have been helped to work with my own body and its particular needs with patience and acceptance; to improve my stance and posture and feel balanced; to become truly relaxed with my strength and comfortable in my own body. After the classes these benefits do not stop – I am able to tap into the source of my body’s wisdom and take this skill into my daily life.

Dawn, Retired Nurse

Sono, Creative Director

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.

Sono, Creative Director

Dr David Retired Doctor

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.

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.
