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!

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 practising Qigong with Shirsha for more than 4 years. Of all the exercise and movement forms I have tried over the years, this has been the most interesting and rewarding. Over time, I’ve experienced certain physiological changes which neither medical nor alternative therapies have been able to produce - but the form has much to offer beyond the physical, and my sense is that one gets what one needs from it. The teaching here is deep and refined, and every class reveals something new to me in the form. There is an ever-unfolding exquisite subtlety to be found here.

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.

Qigong with Shirsha these past few years has shown me a deep awareness of the connection between breath and body movement. I love her friendly and perceptive teaching style and feel my good health owes much to this practice.

“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.”
