Qi Gong - instructional DVD  presented by Matthew Roachford

 

 
 Foundation Week Summer School

A certificated, week long course, which combines the feel of a holiday with a gently structured course programme.

Overview

An enjoyable structured course covering Tai Chi refinement, Qi Theory and Qigong. The main intention behind this course is to give those with some experience in Tai Chi and Qi Gong an opportunity to deepen in their understanding. The course will help develop understanding of these arts through group tuition and discussion alongside a programme of presentations and workshops given by experienced and qualified practitioners and teachers. Open to anyone but ideally to those with at least some experience.
