“Shisha conducts her Qigong classes with so much patience, care and gentleness that I always feel empowered and guided by her in deeply feeling my energy and knowing my body better. Her mastery and clarity in turn also help me to tap into a wonderful inner flow, which has proven overtime to be extremely healing and regenerating for me.”

Monique,  Theatre coach and French tutor

Studying Tai Chi with Shirsha Marie these last six years has turned my health around from being a burnt out school teacher to feeling younger every year. It has cured a range of problems which were accumulating such as sore heels, lower back pain and damaged shoulders. The cartilage problems in my knees have not deteriorated and are no longer extremely painful. I can now enjoy many more years pursuing my career.

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 is absorbing. It enables me to develop stillness and calm in my body. I had suffered from poor posture and not feeling stable and connected through my body. I had tried other Qigong teachers but found that often the methods would oppose my body in a manner which was aggressive, forcing my body into the forms and positions. With Shirsha I have been helped to work with my own body and its particular needs with patience and acceptance; to improve my stance and posture and feel balanced; to become truly relaxed with my strength and comfortable in my own body. After the classes these benefits do not stop – I am able to tap into the source of my body’s wisdom and take this skill into my daily life.

I am most grateful for the commitment and compassion of our Tai Chi teacher Shirsha Marie. For 10 years now I have been practicing Tai Chi at the Centre here in Byron Bay and have been able to free my body from back and joint pain. Tai Chi has helped me to move to a deeper and more satisfying level of meditation. There are so many benefits for mind body and spirit from this ancient art.

The mixed Qigong and Tai Chi class is a focal point of my week as a chance to reset energetically. The practice has enhanced my balance, attitude and posture. Annual health check revealed that I have recovered 6 mm in height. It has helped me reconnect with the quality of awareness that is found in meditation.
