Animal Frolic Qigong Workshop

About the event

Join Kate for a playful and fun Qigong workshop exploring a set of movements known as Wu Qin Xi or Animal Frolic Qigong. Within this workshop we will embody the movements, qualities and spirit of the Crane, Bear, Monkey, Deer and Tiger. Such as sensing the steady and calm lightness of a crane, the grounded strength of a bear, the playful and cheeky agility of the monkey, the relaxed alertness and grace of the deer, the fierce protective strength of the tiger. The practice will yield positive health benefits for mind and body. All practices are suitable for beginners and can be adapted and seated if needed. Kate is a 7th Generation Ba Gua Zhang lineage holder under the mentorship of internationally respected teacher Mimi Kuo-Deemer. She is also a qualified Tuina Practitioner and a final-year Acupuncture student, bringing together traditional Chinese movement, bodywork and health cultivation practices. Her teaching combines the wisdom of the Internal Martial Arts with an understanding of posture, movement, energy cultivation and holistic wellbeing, creating a welcoming environment for beginners and experienced practitioners alike.
