KIRSTY HARPER

Located in Bath, UK, Kirsty Harper offers Qigong and Shiatsu services to help individuals improve their health, energy, and overall well-being. In Qigong classes, participants are introduced to the ancient practise that originated in China and has evolved over thousands of years. Qigong involves slow and gentle movements, postural exercises, and focused breathing to improve the flow of energy and breath in the body. Kirsty teaches various forms of Qigong, some of which are designed for martial art skills enhancement, while others prioritise health and well-being.

There are numerous benefits to practising Qigong. Regular practise can improve overall mental and physical health, relax the mind, reduce anxiety, strengthen and tone muscles, and improve mobility, coordination, and balance. Qigong also helps to reduce mental and physical tension, improve sleep, ease stiff joints and tight muscles, aid in healing from injuries, and support the body during long-term or chronic illness. Moreover, Qigong supports the immune system and provides numerous other benefits.

In terms of Qigong classes, Kirsty offers both face-to-face and online options. Each class involves slow, gentle movements and breathing exercises that promote relaxation and strength in the body, mind, and spirit. No prior experience is needed, and everyone is welcome to participate. Participants are advised to wear loose clothing and comfortable shoes.

Classes are available in various locations in the Bath area, including Central Bath, Newton St Loe, Timsbury, and Bishop Sutton. Online classes are also offered.

For those interested in Shiatsu, Kirsty also provides Shiatsu massage services in the Bath area. Shiatsu is an ancient form of healing bodywork originating from Japan. Similar to acupuncture, Shiatsu works on pressure points and meridians to restore balance to the flow of vital energy or 'Qi' in the body. Instead of needles, Kirsty uses her palms, fingers, thumbs, and occasionally elbows, knees, and feet to apply pressure and massage the pressure points and meridians.

This deeply relaxing and invigorating massage facilitates the body's natural healing process on physical, mental, emotional, and energetic levels.

To learn more about Qigong, see Qigong Institute and Harvard Medical School for information on the health benefits of Tai Chi.
