Qigong record attempt

The British Health Qigong Association brings over qigong masters from China once a year to share their expertise. As well as the ba duan jin seminar in Oldham on 15 April that I mentioned in my last post - and I'm sure other events yet to be announced - there will be a Health Qigong and Tai Chi Festival near London on Saturday 21 April. This is to celebrate the Olympics moving from Beijing to London for 2012. As well as qigong taster sessions, and tai chi, qigong and martial arts demonstrations, there will be an attempt to set a European record for mass display of qigong.

You are all invited to take part for the very reasonable price of £10 and if you book before 20 March and take part in the mass display you get a free silk tai chi suit as well! There is also an option to do further qigong training with the Chinese masters on the Sunday.

Qigong is a Chinese health exercise often done along with tai chi. There are many different types of qigong and you should be able to see a number of them at the festival. You can book places at the festival here.
