Alison, Teacher
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.

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.

"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."

Shirsha Marie is quite simply one of the best teachers I have ever had. I began studying Qigong with her 3 years ago. It has had a profound effect on my life, leading to a quieter, deeper equilibrium within me. I am looking forward to further years of study with her.

Leonie, Business Owner
After nearly 18 months of Hapkido training, I've gained a great deal of strength, improved flexibility and there appears to be a kind of physical re-alignment occurring. Beyond the physical, I've noticed improvements in my ability to focus and have gained greater clarity and calmness of mind. With Shirsha we train in an environment of acceptance, mutual respect and integrity. As a beginner, I feel I have just touched the surface and am excited about continuing to train and discover more of what this very old and beautiful art has to offer.
