Bluegum Qigong - New Name, New Look!
Same Great Classes
We’re excited to announce that ‘Qigong for a Healthy Life’ has had a fabulous refresh and is now called Bluegum Qigong! The classes are the same, just with a new name and logo that has more significance for teacher Adrienne. Adrienne was led to Tai Chi and Qigong in 2003 after having severe rheumatoid arthritis for 35 years. Qigong is a powerful system of ancient Chinese health therapy and is a way of working with your life energy, Qi (chi). It stimulates Qi through breathing and gentle movements, resulting in a deep feeling of relaxation and harmony that assists the body in health recovery.
Adrienne decided on the name Bluegum Qigong because of the strength and grounding that can come from trees. The new name and logo references the Southern Hemisphere, where Bluegum Qigong is practised. Adrienne explains “ As I use trees symbolically in all my classes it seemed very fitting and eucalypts are so uniquely Australian too”. The goose symbolises the Da Yan Wild Goose Qigong set that Adrienne studied and practices while the Yin Yang symbol is an ancient symbol showing two forces that complement and balance each other, which is central to all Tai Chi and Qigong practices.
If you would like to experience Qigong for yourself or find out more contact Adrienne on: 0428 553 317.
