Qigong, which literally means "practice of vital energy" reduces mental stress and tension as well as improves concentration and health. Yoshi Omori's morning sessions follow the Qigong style called ‘silk reeling’ where slow and fast movements alternate with bursts of powerful motion. The exercises work with yin and yang, the full and the empty, the right and the left. Practitioners move towards getting rid of body stiffness, relaxing the muscles and tendons. The spiral movements aim to open up the joints to promote flexibility and reduce physical tension and strain.
Qigong is an excellent aid for concentrating, softening and relaxing the body and allowing your energies to flow freely. The sessions are ideal for everyone. The practice is also a great physical and mental warm-up for dancers, actors and performance artists.
Yoshi has practiced qigong for 15 years. He suffered from back pain for over a decade before finding this practice that eventually healed him.
You can sign up to participate once or twice a week. The course is open for all levels of experience.
