Heart Mind Centre

Shirsha Marie is quite simply one of the best teachers I have ever had. I began studying Qigong with her 3 years ago. It has had a profound effect on my life, leading to a quieter, deeper equilibrium within me. I am looking forward to further years of study with her.

I have been practicing Tai Chi and Qigong for 1.5 years with Shirsha with great benefit to mind and body. Her teaching style transmits the finer points and internal aspects of these arts very well, while keeping a calm and respectful environment. For me Tai Chi and Qigong are a perfect continuation of my internal development, martial and body maintenance  practices.

I came to these classes as a novice to Qigong and have found this to be a beautiful and relaxing introduction. Shirsha’s style of teaching has been very personalised for all levels which has made it an easy adjustment for me as a beginner. I have noticed immediate positive effects on my own health and mind and body - I have suffered from low energy and heart palpitations but since starting these classes this has reduced significantly and I have much more energy and balance in my mind and emotions. I leave each class feeling rejuvenated and full of vitality. Qigong is a joy to learn and practice.

I cannot recommend the Qigong taught at Heart Mind Centre highly enough. Each class is like a deeply healing massage and meditation. Deeply healing because the Qigong movements open up the channels for energy to flow throughout all areas of my body. And meditative because my mind becomes single focused on the exercises and the breathing. Although I have always enjoyed strong physical exercise I can feel that this is actually more powerful in its capacity to keep me fit and healthy.

I was overjoyed when I found Tai Chi classes with Shirsha. I had been suffering from arthritis in my knees, which meant I could not walk more than a few metres. Also I had been diagnosed with mild emphysema so my doctor suggested that I do Tai Chi to help my lungs repair. Now after three years of practice my lungs are healthy, I can take long walks on the beach and I have high energy and excellent health.

I have been practising Qigong with Shirsha for more than 4 years. Of all the exercise and movement forms I have tried over the years, this has been the most interesting and rewarding. Over time, I’ve experienced certain physiological changes which neither medical nor alternative therapies have been able to produce - but the form has much to offer beyond the physical, and my sense is that one gets what one needs from it. The teaching here is deep and refined, and every class reveals something new to me in the form. There is an ever-unfolding exquisite subtlety to be found here.
