STUDENT COMMENTS:
I have noticed that my finger nails grow more quickly now that I am learning Qigong, and they are also much stronger.
Pat
Despite being under 50, I came along to Gentle Exercise for The Over 50s as part of my rehabilitation from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/ME. The exercises, which I practise most days, have really worked and along with the ME, my other aches and pains have gone too. Thank you Kate.
Rachel
My frozen shoulder of six months disappeared after the first two sessions of Gentle Exercise for the Over 50s.
Gillian
Since starting the Gentle Exercise For The Over 50s classes with Kate when I was 60, I have found the stiffness I have had in my joints has been alleviated, and the strength has returned to my lower back where I have had persistent weakness and pain in the past. The classes are relaxing and enjoyable, giving me a sense of calm and peace, which I am sure helps to offset my high blood pressure.
Helen
The energy of the Northern Shaolin Chun Yuen forms is so light and dynamic I feel positively bouncy after practise. It is a real pleasure to learn authentic skills in a friendly and supportive envronment, while being allowed to work entirely at your own pace.
Oliver
Since I started learning and practising Qigong I feel balanced and have plenty of energy. I am able to concentrate better, am calmer and I worry less!
Simona
Many of us as we get older learn to adjust to aches and pains, difficulty in bending
or moving, and the loss of our balance and co-
Chen Tai Chi has had a great impact on me as a person. It has helped my posture in many ways, and people actually say I look taller. I enjoy the movements in the forms and the techniques in pushing hands and the weapons forms. I am more sure of myself, and it is really my own personal challenge.
Earl
After I had been doing Qigong for a few months I realised that I no longer had bad pains and stiffness in my shoulder. I feel more relaxed, and at the same time have more energy.
Louise
I have found a constant improvement in both my health and my ability to relax. My damaged lower back is now strong, my asthma attacks and digestive problems are fewer and my friends and family feel I am nicer to be with, calmer and more positive.
Cat
Qigong has helped me to sustain a healthy life. I have not needed to renew my spectacle prescription for a few years, and I am calmer and more relaxed about life in general.
