Through Tai Chi I experience a profound sense of myself and my world. It is a powerful vehicle that brings my mind into union with my body, my life force and into resonance with the heartbeat of life. My years training with Shirsha have been a wonderful blend of informative instruction and interesting learning. We have been incredibly lucky to have been taught by an instructor who, not only is passionate about these arts but embodies grace, patience and the rare ability to transfer her knowledge whilst retaining impeccably, the integrity of this extraordinary art.

After major back surgery 10 years ago I was afraid of exercise. I went to Qigong after hearing about an incredible qualified instructor. I was immediately comfortable with Shirsha’s patient, professional and personal style of teaching. It has been so helpful to be able to take home what she has taught me, and to be able to relax and have the correct stance as I do an exercise. In my travels I have been to many other Qigong Instructors. This one is absolutely dedicated to her profession and her students, plus being gentle and caring.  I am 70 years old.

Thank you so much for the one day Life-force Workshop. I loved the yang kicks and blocks followed by the yin flow of qigong. I felt energy streaming through my body. The meditations were sublime and the conscious walk was lovely. I would definitely love to do it again.

After nearly 18 months of Hapkido training, I've gained a great deal of strength, improved flexibility and there appears to be a kind of physical re-alignment occurring. Beyond the physical, I've noticed improvements in my ability to focus and have gained greater clarity and calmness of mind. With Shirsha we train in an environment of acceptance, mutual respect and integrity. As a beginner, I feel I have just touched the surface and am excited about continuing to train and discover more of what this very old and beautiful art has to offer.

Qigong with Shirsha these past few years has shown me a deep awareness of the connection between breath and body movement. I love her friendly and perceptive teaching style and feel my good health owes much to this practice.

I have been attending Qigong classes at Heart Mind Centre for around 6 months. I feel totally safe within the class atmosphere and realize all the health benefits of this beautiful meditative style of movement for body and soul. At the completion of every class I feel so much more aware of balance, harmony and calm from within. Our teacher, Shirsha shares the most beautiful, graceful presentation of the Qigong movements, always with careful guidance and with insightful instruction. This has become a very powerful and deep experience for me. I have gratitude for her sharing of inner light and strength with me in this long journey of developing Chi.
