Yoga & Qigong Day with Alison and Charity
Saturday 27 January 2024 - 10am-5.30pm
Price 60 euros
Although yoga and qigong are different systems of exercise, meditation and healing practices they both work with body, mind, and breath to optimize energy flow and overall health.
Join Qigong instructor, Charity @charitykahn and Alison @arealquinta_yoga for a daylong practice to support grounding, balancing of energy, and the release of blocks and tension. You’ll leave with an increased sense of peace, relaxation and joy.
We will start with an energising yoga practice and then move outdoors (weather permitting) for a grounding qigong session surrounded by the natural tranquillity of the farm and the animals.
After lunch, we will guide you in a silent walk and meditation outside before practising some relaxing yoga and end the day with singing mantras together.
Wear comfortable clothes for indoor and outdoor movement practice. No previous yoga or qigong experience needed.
