DA YAN WILD GOOSE QIGONG
Da Yan Wild Goose Qigong is an ancient health practice, similar to Tai Chi, focusing on moving your body gently with the breath, creating relaxation, inner harmony and health.
Da Yan translates to Great Bird and this form of Qigong practice originates from the Kunlun School of Daoism in the Jin Dynasty (1,700 years ago).
Over one week, you will receive the opportunity to learn a full Qigong practice, that you can then practice at home, or in a group with others. This practice mimics the movements of the Da Yan (Wild Goose), a bird revered in China for its strength and health, as it gently strengthens its body and mind to fly a long migratory flight over the Himalaya Mountains.
The Rainy Day Practice of the Da Yang Wild Goose qigong is a shortened form, keeping all the basic principles and essence of Qi health cultivation, and consists of 26 movements.
These gentle movements bring together the observation of the laws of nature, thousands of years of Chinese Medicine, a continual linage of practice over many centuries, and a reputation for improving health and longevity.
Each day you will learn and practice the gentle movements of Da Yan Wild Goose Qigong, followed by Qigong meditation.

MINDFULNESS & THE ART OF ZEN SHIATSU
Discover how to fine tune your inner creativity
& express it through the poetry of healing touch.
Matt will guide you to creatively express mindfulness techniques – in a way that helps others and yourself. Discover the heart of Zen Shiatsu – a Japanese form of massage centred on mindfulness. Shiatsu translates as finger pressure and is performed through the clothes. You can practice it on a futon on the ground, on a massage table, or in a chair.
Traditionally, practitioners in Japan were blind and highly regarded for their incredible sensitivity and palpation skills, leading to a deep art form with health benefits for both giver and receiver.
You will practice giving and receiving Zen Shiatsu massage, emphasising mindfulness techniques that develop an empathetic connection with your inner nature and that of another human being.
