Yoga with Simone - Calligraphy Yoga, Mindfulness & Meditation
What Is Calligraphy Yoga? Unique and Holistic,Calligraphy Yoga is a dynamic, flowing practice that merges the Indian and Taoist philosophies and principles of Yoga, Tai Chi and Qi Gong into a holistic system. We focus on the quality of breath and movement to restore natural breathing patterns and full range of motion in the spine and other joints. This practice is 50% physical and 50% mental and energetic. It works heavily on opening the meridians, making the spine more flexible and controlling and balancing energy through gentle circular movements so that the practitioner feels both strong and calm, a perfect Yin and Yang balance.
What Techniques Are Used? Calligraphy Yoga combines four traditional practices together to help improve your overall health and wellbeing. The four practises include:
Tai Chi - to bring smooth effortless movement
Chinese Chi Gong - to bring an understanding of internal energy
A focus on the Dantian (navel area which the Chinese call the action brain) - as an energy centre
The postures of Indian Yoga - to bring an physiological structure and form to the movements
The technique of Chinese calligraphy brings a 3 dimensional flow and link to the movements that are both intuitive and graceful. Want to know more?

Chi gong is the art of cultivating and training energy in the body. It allows one to remove energy blockages in the meridians to maintain and prolong a healthy, happy life. Calligraphy Chi Gong has three areas:
Receiving energy
Projecting energy
