Build your strength, stimulate your nervous system and increase flexibility with Dao Yang guided exercises, following the Qigong (it’s pronounced ‘chi gong’) mind/body practice. Think tai chi, which is a specialised form of qigong. It was developed in China centuries ago to promote the flow of ‘qi’ energy.

It combines gentle physical movement, controlled breathing and meditation to reduce stress, and it’s suitable for all ages, but especially the over 50s.

Classes, led by Shirley, take place at St Andrew’s church in Maple Road, KT6 4DS, on Wednesdays, 10-11am, and cost £3 a lesson. The first lesson is free, to see if it’s for you.
