About the course
Created by the legendary Yellow Emperor of China, the art of Qigong has a history spanning over 4,000 years. The practice uses moving meditation to balance your qi (roughly pronounced chee), which is your life force energy.
The Shibashi is a set of 18 movements designed to improve health and wellbeing. You’ll feel calmer, sleep better and strengthen your body and mind. Led by Michael MacBean, you’ll be encouraged to explore the Shi Ba Shi and finish the course ready to live more peacefully, in the present.
More information
The Shibashi (which literally means 18 in Mandarin) is the perfect introduction to Qigong. Each lesson will teach you a movement, from “Flying Goose” to “Pushing The Wave.” You’ll slowly build each movement into a flowing set. You can replay the tutorials as many times as you like, and are encouraged to work through the course at your own pace.
