About
What is Tai Chi and Qi Gong (say ‘chee gung’)?
It is a natural, holistic, stress-relieving relaxation and exercise, working deep into tissues and organs.
It stops the fight/flight response by switching off stress hormones. Qi Gong re-sets your immune system (often suppressed during stress), improves circulation and has many other benefits.

"I am a sufferer of Bi-Polar Disorder as well as unrelated PTSD/Anxiety: as part of this I have frequent panic attacks - I feel sudden high levels of anxiety and can’t breathe.
"I’ve been doing Qi Gong for over a year now and have noticed a dramatic reduction in my attacks as well as other symptoms of my disorders. The tuition I have received has improved my self-confidence and worth a lot, and I would definitely recommend Isabelle’s tuition to anyone who wants to keep fit, both mentally and physically".
