🍂✨ **AUTUMN EQUINOX – A TIME TO LET GO** ✨🍂

As we move through the **Autumn Equinox**, our focus in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) turns towards the **Metal Element**. 🌿

The Metal Element is associated with the **Lungs (Yin)** and **Large Intestine (Yang)** — two organs with a beautiful theme in common:

✨ **Gather what is needed**
✨ **Release what is no longer needed**

And perhaps autumn gives us a gentle reminder that this isn't just something our bodies do… it can also be something we practise in our everyday lives. 🍁

Look around at nature — the trees begin to **let go of their leaves**, releasing what they no longer need as they prepare for the quieter months ahead. 🌳🍂

Maybe we can take a little inspiration from nature and ask ourselves:

💭 What stress am I holding onto?
💭 What emotions no longer serve me?
💭 What am I ready to release?
💭 What would I like to make space for?

Autumn is a beautiful time for **reflection, grounding and preparation**. 🌾

Through Qigong, we can use gentle movement, breath and mindful intention to help us slow down, reconnect with ourselves and create a little more space — both physically and emotionally. 🌬️✨

So as the leaves begin to fall, perhaps allow yourself to **let go too**…

🍂 Release what you no longer need.
🌬️ Breathe in what nourishes you.
💚 Make space for what you truly need.

**Move • Breathe • Let Go • Restore** ✨

Hello everyone,

With just a few weeks to go until our Autumn Qigong & Sound Bath Journey, on SUNDAY 11TH OCTOBER, we wanted to send you a little reminder as we begin to look forward to this special morning together. 🍂✨

As the seasons gently turn and we move towards autumn, this will be a beautiful opportunity to slow down, breathe, reconnect and nourish ourselves — creating a little space away from the busyness of everyday life. 🌿🍁

🌿 Our Morning Together

The session begins at 9.30am

Please arrive from **9.15am** so we have time to welcome you, sign in and settle into the space.

Julie will begin our journey with some gentle breathwork, helping us to arrive fully in the moment, before moving through a gentle warm-up and body awakening.

We’ll then flow into a calming Qigong practice, allowing the gentle movements, breath and mindful intention to bring us into a deeper sense of connection with ourselves.

Our Qigong journey will finish with a short standing meditation a quiet moment to simply pause, breathe and feel. 🌬️🍂

For the Qigong session, please wear:

👣 Flat training shoes or barefoot
👕 Loose, comfortable clothing
💧 A bottle of water

🎶✨ A Journey into Stillness

We’ll then take a 10-minute break to rearrange the space and make ourselves comfortable before surrendering to a deeply restorative Sound Healing Journey brought to you by the amazingly talented Fanita Wight Feather. 🔔🌙

Allow yourself to become cosy, supported and comfortable as the beautiful sounds of crystal singing bowls, gongs and chimes create a peaceful space for deep relaxation and stillness. ✨

For this part of our journey, please bring:

🧘‍♀️ A yoga or camping mat
🧣 A warm, cosy blanket
😌 An eye mask to gently block out the light
🌿 Cushions to support your neck and underneath your knees
💧 Anything else that will help you feel completely comfortable and relaxed

The session will finish at approximately **12.15pm**.

We’re so looking forward to sharing this special morning with you — a chance to move, breathe, release, restore and simply be as we welcome the beautiful energy of autumn. 🍁✨

Come along with an open heart, leave the outside world behind for a little while, and allow yourself to enjoy the journey. 💚

With the **brightest of grateful Qi**,

🌿✨ Can Qigong help us get fit? Absolutely!

Often known for its calming, meditative movements, Qigong may also support physical fitness. Research suggests that regular practice can help reduce body fat and increase skeletal muscle mass—while strengthening posture, breathing, flexibility, and overall wellbeing. 💪🫁🧘‍♀️

With gentle movement, focused breathing, and consistency, Qigong is a wonderful way to care for both body and mind. 🌟

Are you ready to move, breathe, and feel your best? 🙌

✨ A HUGE thank you to everyone who came along to Qigong – Tai Chi classes this week! ✨🌿

It was absolutely fabulous to see SO many of you! 🥰💚

Just a little reminder that all my classes are drop-in, so there is never any pressure to come along every week. You attend for YOU — whenever you can, whenever you need it, and at your own pace. 🌸🧘‍♀️

I’m always so pleased to see everyone progressing, gaining confidence and enjoying their Qigong journey. 💫

Each of my 4 classes works at a slightly different pace, with a lovely mix of new beginners and more seasoned students. I try to blend everyone together, and I really feel that it works beautifully. 🌿

And remember… there is ALWAYS something to learn, even when you think you already know a movement! 😊✨ Sometimes slowing down, revisiting something or seeing it from a different perspective can teach us something completely new.
I’m now heading off for my annual break 🌞🌊, so there will be NO classes next week or the following Tuesday.

🌸 Classes resume on Wednesday 23rd September. 🌸

Until then, keep breathing, keep moving and keep enjoying your Qigong. 💚🌿
Have a wonderful couple of weeks, everyone, and I’ll see you all very soon! 🥰

Sending you all lots of positive Qi ✨💚

Hello September
As we approach the Autumn equinox ( 23rd September) we start to focus on the metal element of TCM (traditional Chinese medicine) .. this mean Lungs (Yin) and Large Intestine (Yang)..Both organs focus on gathering what is needed and removing of what is not needed in the body... the autumn is a time of reflection and preparation, as nature 'lets go' of the summer we should 'let go' of our stress and emotional baggage....
