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.

“Shisha conducts her Qigong classes with so much patience, care and gentleness that I always feel empowered and guided by her in deeply feeling my energy and knowing my body better. Her mastery and clarity in turn also help me to tap into a wonderful inner flow, which has proven overtime to be extremely healing and regenerating for me.”

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.

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.

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 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.
