ADDITIONAL QIGONG SET
Acupressure Qigong
This 2-day module takes you through a tapping & self-massage routine
covering the whole body
Key acupressure points are explored along with a variety of techniques.
We will consider when to use calming sedating techniques or warming stimulating techniques to leave us balanced, refreshed and restored
The aim of this module is to teach you. as Session Leaders, to lead a sequence of acupressure techniques, demonstrated on yourself, for your attendees or clients to follow
The routine can be delivered as a full session or in separate sections
Qigong Session Leaders can deliver this during the first part of a Qigong session
This module does not teach you to perform the techniques on other people
We provide notes and videos to support the face to face training
DAY 1
During the first day of this module you will learn how to complete a body alignment assessment and explore the issues poor body alignment can create or aggravate . You will also learn how to make safe suggestions for your session attendees to help them to improve their alignment and potentially ease some of their discomfort
We will complete body alignment assessments each other while standing, sitting and moving and also consider how we use our body in everyday life and while delivering Qigong, as we have to look after ourselves first before we can help our attendees
We are rarely taught how to stand and move correctly
Standing and moving with the right foot incorrectly can create discomfort in the left shoulder and neck.
Big toes bending inwards creating bunions,
'Knock knees', 'Bow Legs' or collapsed foot arches are most often a consequence of poor posture and can be improved.
We can help ourselves in many ways, once we know how, and as therapists, we can also help our attendees.
Session Leaders who are also holistic therapists will be able to use the information learned during this module to help their clients
DAY 2
During the second day of this module we will explore how the whole body moves as one with a strong relaxed ease.
We will apply the body alignment knowledge and see how this is efficient and effective.
The movements all start in the feet and travel through the lower tantien.
The arms are moved by the body and all we need to do is apply spirals and arcs
These techniques are applied to all tai chi qigong movements to ease the joints, strengthen the muscles, create flexibility, massage our internal organs and encourage our body systems to work more efficiently
This 2 day module explores 21 Daily Exercises, to ease the joints in the body and relax the muscles & tendons. Ideally they should be practiced every day
As always, it is the way the movements are performed that creates the benefit
This module teaches the movements, the health benefits and the correct way each exercise should be performed. We also highlight common errors and explore different ways to deliver these within your sessions.
ADDITIONAL QIGONG SET

These movements also aim to improve balance & dexterity
while being relaxing and fun

WORKSHOP
Introduction to
Traditional Chinese Medicine
A DAY OF INTEREST
Have you ever wondered what Traditional Chinese Medicine is all about
During this fun relaxed day we will look at
Different ways that TCM gathers diagnosis answers
Consider how different therapies are chosen for different conditions
Why acupuncture?
What does cupping do?
What can we see in our tongue
What can we see in our face
How & why do the seasons make a difference
How does Tai Chi or Qigong fir into TCM?
What about other systems EFT, Reflexology, Chakras, Reiki
I aim to bring lots of jigsaw pieces together with theory, discussion and practical fun exercises, like looking at our tongues
This is not a certificated course and will not provide you with enough knowledge to use these tools as a therapist but it may spark your interest to go on and complete a qualification
