ONLINE Qigong with Daverick Leggett

Classes are now paused for the summer. The next series begins September 2022.

…….

These classes work on a subscription model which enable you to do as many classes as you like each week. The fee for this is £10 per week. The material we cover changes as the season progresses and you are updated by weekly email. Some classes are recorded and made available on a YouTube playlist.

Here’s how it works:

• you enrol, once only. The system sets up an automated weekly payment and automatically adds your name to a participant list

• you can cancel or pause your payment at any time with ease

• you will be sent a new link by email each week

• this single link works for all classes

About the classes

Meditation. The meditation can be practised on the floor or on a chair. All meditation practices will share the same essential ground, the various ways in which we settle body, breath and mind. The exact nature of the practice changes over time, with each new practice being taught slowly and staying with the same method for many weeks.

Hua Gong Forms. These are the fundamental self healing practices of Hua Gong, consisting of flowing movements which open the channels, activate the Qi and animate the body, heart and mind. They are rich and potent enough to serve as a lifelong practice, supporting our health at all levels and helping us heal.

Qi Ball. The Qi ball practices are universal to all Qigong styles. Working with the ball includes a variety of still postures and movement sequences. As well as significant health benefits, it is one of the best ways to develop our “Qi capacity”- our ability to contain strong experience – and our ability to directly feel the Qi.

Shen Form. In Qigong we talk about Jing, Qi and Shen. The Jing refers to the more physical level, Qi to the energetic and Shen to light or consciousness. The Shen form is a simple sequence of gestures whose effect is to help contain the Shen, to help keep the light in and around the body and prevent us from “leaking”. Psychologically we can experience this as the mind being well rooted in the body and a feeling of “coming back to ourselves”.

Five Animal forms. The Five Animal practices are more physical than most Huagong practices. They are also the most playful. In all cases they are energising and strengthening. The animal forms imitate the movements of deer, tiger, bird, bear and monkey in a stylised way and the practice steers a course between form and spontaneity. Like all Huagong, the essence of the practice is to connect, in this case to the spirit/energy of the animal.

Five Organ Qigong. This is a set of movements for the Yin organs (Kidney, Liver, Heart, Spleen, Lung). Once we have learned this set, we focus more closely on each organ in turn, learning other complementary exercises, hand gestures and meditations.
