About the Course

Baduanjin, or “Eight Pieces of Brocade,” is a beautiful and accessible Chi Kung/ Qigong form designed to nurture strength, flexibility, balance and inner calm. Through a gentle sequence of flowing movements, coordinated breathing and mindful awareness, Baduanjin helps you release tension, improve circulation and reconnect with your body. It is also one of the oldest documented forms of daoyin, ‘self care’.

Suitable for all ages and levels of experience, it offers a simple yet powerful way to bring greater vitality and relaxation into everyday life.

An evening to discuss what's happening in your practice and life

Join David for a live, down-to-earth Q&A - our online take on the much-appreciated "questions box" sessions from retreats.

David will respond to as many submitted questions as he can with his usual grounded, kind and practical approach. Whether you have something specific on your mind or just want to listen in, everyone is welcome. Questions from others often touch exactly what we're working with or bring up thoughts you didn't know you had.
