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.

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.

I have been practicing Tai Chi and Qigong for 1.5 years with Shirsha with great benefit to mind and body. Her teaching style transmits the finer points and internal aspects of these arts very well, while keeping a calm and respectful environment. For me Tai Chi and Qigong are a perfect continuation of my internal development, martial and body maintenance practices.

Thank you so much for the one day Life-force Workshop. I loved the yang kicks and blocks followed by the yin flow of qigong. I felt energy streaming through my body. The meditations were sublime and the conscious walk was lovely. I would definitely love to do it again.

I have been attending Shirsha's classes since February 2018 and practicing most days each week at home or by the river. Shirsha is an excellent teacher, her style is warm, clear and very thorough and her depth of knowledge is evident. I have received so much benefit from Qigong. It centres me, relaxes and calms my nervous system and energises me, all at the same time. I sometimes have issues with restricted breathing which this practice helps. It's even improved my eye sight as attested by my optometrist. Thank you Shirsha!

Diti, Music Teacher
I was overjoyed when I found Tai Chi classes with Shirsha. I had been suffering from arthritis in my knees, which meant I could not walk more than a few metres. Also I had been diagnosed with mild emphysema so my doctor suggested that I do Tai Chi to help my lungs repair. Now after three years of practice my lungs are healthy, I can take long walks on the beach and I have high energy and excellent health.
