“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.”

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 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!

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.

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.

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.
