This course is designed for anyone with a real curiousity and interest in how Chi Kung can help underpin many aspects of everyday life. It is designed for existing Chi Kung and Tai Chi practitioners who want to deepen their practice and expand their experience. This course is extremely useful for personal trainers, exercise instructors, mind and body healthcare professionals, who will find this approach broadens, informs and inspires their exercising repetoire.
The course will help you establish a tangible connection with Chi and learn enough basic forms to create an pertinent personal practice.
Each seminar runs from 10.00am - 5.00pm. To gain your certificate you will be required to attend them all or make up for those missed when other courses are offered.
You will learn about:
• Posture and balance
• Groundedness
• Moving with fluidity and awareness
• Joint mobility
• Shaking and clearing
• Spinal health
• Chi Kung walks
• Connecting to your Dan Tien
• Increasing your Chi flow
• Introduction to Five Element theory
• Chi Kung breathing
• Wu Chi and accessing stillness
• Standing postures
• Internal Chi Kung meditations.
Chi Kung is a powerful health science and when practised daily can help you increase your energy levels, increase mental focus, free your body of tension, build an awareness of Chi flow in yourself and others, and encourage a creative, spontaneous approach to life. It is a powerful health tool for people in any walk of life but particularly useful for those in the caring professions. It can help you cope with stress and fatigue, replenishing your energy and creating an internal equanimity.
This course is facilitated by Clara Apollo. You will be encouraged to make notes and handouts will be given. Various text books will be available for you to peruse to support your learning.
We highly recommend you attending a weekly Chi Kung or Tai Chi class whilst on the Foundation Course to give you space to practice and tune in with your Chi. Contact info@newforestchikung.co.uk for more information.
The College of Elemental Chi Kung
The College of Elemental Chi Kung has been running teacher trainings,
workshops and retreats for the past 9 years and has a register of teachers
who offer regular evening classes and workshops all over the UK and Italy.
Anyone successfully completing the Foundation Course will be eligible
to start the teacher training programme at Seminar 2. The programme is
spread over 2 years and there is a further 2 years advanced training.
See www.elementalchikung.com.
Reiki training
Clara follows William Rand's Reiki manuals and structure for teaching. See www.reiki.org for more information.
Trainings occur when enough people request them and are usually kept between 4 - 6 participants for Reiki 1 and 2 with less than that for further training which enables you to get what you require from the personal attention and content. Chi Kung is always used as a preparation for healing practice including how to stand correctly to channel energy comfortably. Colour information is used with regard to the chakras. See Healing Chi Kung on the Workshops page of this site.
