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.

Qigong makes me feel very good and is so enjoyable to do. The movements are  easy and so uncomplicated, but seem to work in profound ways. I feel better and better, more relaxed and more energised as the Qigong session progresses, and the feeling of vitality lasts all day! I have much more strength now. I feel lighter and clearer in my mind, happy and positive. My shoulder stiffness is gone and my eyesight and digestion have improved. We are so lucky to have a teacher with a true depth of knowledge who instructs with sensitivity and clarity, deftly catering to all ability levels.

“I have always suffered from low energy levels, but after a Qigong class I feel like a dynamo, and can run around town with plenty of juice! Qigong gives me the inner strength and focus I need. When I practice Qigong I feel like my entire body has been flooded with light and energy. Shirsha’s style of teaching is masterful, the perfect mix of physical and breathing techniques.”

The alignment and deep breathing practices of Qigong really improve my posture and support my health. I have suffered from chronic fatigue as well as very difficult emotional states, and I find that, no matter how bad I might feel before a class, afterwards I feel cleared energetically with a lovely centred healthy feeling. I’ve had about 6 different Taiji and Qigong Teachers in the past, and I find that this teacher has a refined blend of warmth, grace and professionalism which creates a strong sense of safety in the practice. I’ve never before been so encouraged to come into a full embodied presence and I don’t imagine I would find better instruction anywhere else. Thankyou.

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 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.
