Da Yan Wild Goose Qi Gong

Weekly Classes

TIME:6:30PM TO 7:30PM THURSDAYS

PRICE: £10

Beeches Primary School

Grand Master Yin Zhu Yan has given Mark his blessing to teach Da Yan Gong this is the first time to our knowledge that this beautiful style of Qi Gong has been taught authentically and fully in Peterborough.

Covered in these will be the Ju Jie form, the postures of the first 64 step form and meditations.

DA YAN Qigong is well known for its lovely and graceful movements, which are suggestive of the image of a wild and carefree goose as it goes about its daily life.

The movements are simple and easy to learn, suitable for old and young.

As a "movement-oriented" Qigong, Da Yan  movements and postures naturally open up our twelve regular meridians and two of the extra-ordinary meridians . Practicing Wild Goose Qigong can and will over time:

  • Improve blood circulation
  • Develop breathing and movement   coordination
  • Increase body and mind flexibility
  • Cultivate awareness of Qi in and around our bodies.
  • Stimulates all the principle channels and acupoints
  •  

Also known as Longevity Qigong, it is said the Da Yan first 64 clears the body of all the accumulated physical and emotional baggage we have picked up since birth.
