I've asked my students to write a little about how they came to Wild Goose Qigong and how it has helped them.
'Having recently retired I thought I should try and address some of the effects of being desk bound for many years. I looked into a variety of exercise classes but found them unsuitable for various reasons. I then came across Wild Goose Qigong and not knowing anything about it, I rang Natasha to ask if it would be suitable for somebody who could not get up from the floor with ease,had no flexibility or stamina and had an arthritic hip.
I am pleased to say 4 months on I can stand for longer periods and only need to sit for a couple of minutes,three times within an hour, rather then every ten minutes or so. My balance is improving and some flexibility is returning, I also find it easier to get up from sitting in an armchair.
Although I still have a way to go, and some exercises I find unable to do to the full extent until I have a hip replacement, I am pleased with the progress I have made and only wish more people were aware of this exercise, as it ranges from the gentle to the more advance movements for those who are able bodied'.
