🎥 As promised, here is a compilation of video footage (some of it sped up) from the worldwide livestream of Saturday's World Health Qigong Day!

🤗 You can see what a great turnout we had in Telford with the British Health Qigong Association. And on the split screen, you can see a few of the other groups who were livestreaming at the same time as us, all part of the Health Qigong "family"🤗

💬 And I'm so proud of my student, Doralena, talking to camera how Health Qigong has made a difference to her life, since she first came to our class only in June of this year!

🌎 How did you celebrate World Health Qigong Day?

Yesterday, 12 September, I practised Health Qigong with the British Health Qigong Association, and brought ten of my students from Derby to Telford to enjoy the experience!

My sincerest thanks to Master Tary, Pete and Sue for guiding us through "Ba Duan Jin" Eight Pieces of Brocade, and "Yi Jin Jing" Tendon-Muscle Strengthening Health Qigong.

We relished this opportunity to practise at the same time as Health Qigong practitioners across the globe on a 20-hour world livestream, sharing our collective passion for Health Qigong. With plenty of footage across 5 continents, I will be sure to share snippets of the footage with you soon. In the meantime, a few photos of our Health Qigong training, then letting our hair down afterwards for a lunch-social, safe to say we all had a blast!

🌟 We often see articles and studies reporting the benefits of Tai Chi, but it's not often that the study specifically mentions Qigong, including Five Animals Frolics "Wu Qin Xi", Tendon/Muscle Strengthening "Yi Jin Jing", and Eight Pieces of Brocade "Ba Duan Jin", and the benefits to our muscoskeletal system, we practise these at our classes!

Our journey to introduce Qigong and Tai Chi to the world continues in the right direction! 🌎

Enjoyed a long weekend with Lee, and his parents as they visited us in Derby, capturing memories and sharing these photos with you. Have you been to any of these fabulous places?

🫖 Afternoon Tea at Morley Hayes' Dovecote Restaurant - who wouldn't love such a splendid spread of mini delights!

🍴 Dinner at Houseboat, just look at the size of those sharing starter platters, what a way to sample authentic Keralan cuisine!

⛵️ Brunch at Mainsail Restaurant, Carsington Water, perfect to fuel us for the rest of the day!

🌳 And it wasn't just about the food...this was my first time visiting Bluebell Arboretum and Nursery. A truly tranquil setting with such variety in tree species, developed from farmland since 1992, there is something truly magical about this place. Pieces of art (and even a xylophone!) nestled in the woodland for added interest. Even the benches and arbour had been hand-decorated to make them truly unique. I only wish I had practised some Tai Chi and Qigong there, but I was a little busy looking after Evie! 😉

On this International Dog Day, here's a photo of Evie enjoying tickles and head scratches from Lee over the weekend. And thank you to Doug for capturing a photo of me and Evie, we usually just take selfies!

International Dog Day celebrates the adoption of dogs, but also the opportunity to spoil our pooch, so Evie gets to enjoy a Puppacino! 🐶😋

I would like to thank Viv and Kate for inviting me to Our Crafty Place, for being so welcoming and supportive, and thank you to all the participants who simply embraced our Tai Chi and Qigong wellbeing sessions; I could not have asked for anything better! 🤗

💖 Our Crafty Place is such a magical venue, I could tell from the moment I stepped through the doors that it has been created and run with love, full of beautiful energy, and long may that continue!

🥰 Ohhhhh, thank you so much for bringing your fabulous energy and smiles to the Elephant Rooms last weekend, I had a blast with you all! Beginners Tai Chi workshop in the morning, and Ma Wang Dui Daoyin Shu Health Qigong in the afternoon, what a fantastic combination!

I love it when we have new visitors to Elephant Rooms - who immediately fall in love work the venue - and returning visitors, who tell me it's like coming back home! 🤗

You all worked so hard, you most definitely earned your chocolate zucchini cake, your lemon and sultana drizzle cake, and the healthy apple and banana oat bites 😆

🫂 Family time with my parents, after they've both had unexpected hospital stays in the past couple of months. Mum is recovering well after breaking her hip, using mobility aids and physio exercises to walk again. Catching some sea air, enjoying good food, sharing a few piccies with you all!

🎻 And a rare treat to meet up with my sister who is so busy with BBC Symphony Orchestra during The Proms season, I know some of you have been spotting her on television!

👩🏻‍🌾 Finding a little time to help my dad in his fruit and vegetable garden...goji berry harvesting is fun, my dad even donated me a goji plant to bring home to my garden!

💐 And not forgetting absent family members, what a gloriously sunny day to pay my respects at my grandmother's grave.
