A 6-week journey to find yourself in a physical way
Are you feeling tired, stretched thin, or simply not quite yourself lately? As women, we are often the ones everybody goes to for help, and our energy gets often pulled in too many directions. Many women reach a stage where their bodies ask for a gentler pace, clearer boundaries, and a way to restore hormonal balance. These weekly sessions at The Pavilions offer exactly that: a calm, nourishing space to breathe again.
Over the term, we will weave together four powerful pillars of wellbeing:
· Tai Chi Foundations: Gentle, flowing movements to improve balance, bone density, and overall health.
· Qigong for Women: Specific forms with self-massage, gentle movements, and intentional visuals designed for general female health.
· Energy Psychology & Acupressure: Learn “tapping” techniques to soothe the nervous system and clear emotional blockages and some acupressure points.
· Energy Medicine Techniques: A short daily routine to strengthen your stability, clarity and hormonal balance.
All is taught slowly, step by step, with plenty of repetition and a light touch of humour: ideal for mature women who want to feel stronger, calmer, and more grounded without strain.
A highlight of the course is Shen Qigong for Women, a new qigong sequence created by Alda Gomez after years of training with traditional masters and refining her own practice. Each movement has its own purpose and benefit. You’ll learn the first two movements in depth so you can continue practising them at home:
· A gentle opening that honours your lineage and supports healing in your family system
· A flowing movement that helps to regulate female hormonal health
· A grounding sequence that strengthens your life force
Led by an Energy Psychotherapist and Tai Chi/Qigong Instructor, this course is more than exercise. It combines meditative tai chi, soft qigong, energy medicine and energy psychology to help you cultivate self-contentment, emotional steadiness, and deep calm.
These sessions are perfect for women who feel tired, overextended, or out of balance, and who want a kind, spacious practice that restores rather than depletes. No experience is needed; just curiosity and a willingness to move gently.
Connect with a community of women in a safe, non-judgemental space: whether in the room or online. Join us for this transformative journey!
