It was a great pleasure to work alongside award winning poet Patrick Jones at Plot 4 Coldra Road Allotments on 23 March. Thanks to The Place and Katie Keeble for inviting us to their plot. We welcomed the arrival of Spring by clearing the old to make way for the new and giving our minds and bodies a good spring clean!

Taiji Qigong Tuesdays at Beechwood Park
Practicing qigong anywhere feels good but outside in nature, with an enhanced sense of interconnectedness, feels extra special. Returning home to the body brings us to the present moment, away from the busy mind and helps to soothe the nervous system as we reconnect with our inner peace and stillness and with our naturual surroundings.
International Women’s Day 2024
Delighted to take part in the successful IWD event at Riverfront Arts Centre.

Yin/Yang of Movement is an expressive combination of the vibrant, external Yang energy of Cuban Salsa and the calmer, internal Yin energy of Taiji Qigong Shibashi.
Chinese New Year
Delighted to take part in this year’s Chinese Lunar New Year celebrations “The Dragons are Coming”.
