Heart of Qigong

cultivate your life-force
Rejuvenating time to relax within, deepen meditation and build vital life energy

Retreats and Workshops are temporarily suspended due to the social distancing measures currently in place. I look forward to recommencing these next year and seeing you all again for a deeper journey into energy arts and meditation.

In the meantime, you can train with me Online! Please find my Online Class schedule here.

In the Heart of Qigong Retreat I’ll be teaching you a range of enjoyable practices for cultivating vitality, inner connection, emotional balance and rejuvenation. These restorative retreats offer a unique blend of Qigong exercises, energy breathing methods, mindful awareness skills and self-healing practices. Through the rhythmic, flowing forms and body-based meditations of Qigong, you’ll enjoy a vibrant approach to improving health and harmony of body and mind.

A Heart of Qigong Retreat offers time-out to replenish your energy reserves, regenerate the nervous system and be fully present for a deeper, more fulfilling connection to life. In a beautiful natural environment, you’ll learn valuable ways to your activate life-force and feel your aliveness. You’ll practice how to be more grounded and centred, calm the mind, manage stress and come back to your essential nature.

Slow down, enjoy deep relaxation and give yourself time and space to nurture your entire system in this delightfully revitalising Qigong retreat. Reconnect with your natural life-force… a force that never goes away.

“Knowing how to breathe in the vitality of nature and nourish ourselves with universal energy is the great gift that Qigong has to offer us. I am so happy to share this ancient wisdom with you, immersed in the beauty and healing power of a natural setting”.

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.

Natalie, Health Worker

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.

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.

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.

Megan, Management

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!

Lynne, Social Worker

I have been attending Qigong classes at Heart Mind Centre for around 6 months. I feel totally safe within the class atmosphere and realize all the health benefits of this beautiful meditative style of movement for body and soul. At the completion of every class I feel so much more aware of balance, harmony and calm from within. Our teacher, Shirsha shares the most beautiful, graceful presentation of the Qigong movements, always with careful guidance and with insightful instruction. This has become a very powerful and deep experience for me. I have gratitude for her sharing of inner light and strength with me in this long journey of developing Chi.
