Yuan Qigong – Ren Yuan

At Le Pont Clinic, we believe in the power of holistic wellbeing and aim to share a range of pathways towards your optimal wellbeing. So we’re thrilled to share another Yuan Qigong Workshop with you, led by our very own Osteopath – Isabelle Ferré. In addition to Osteopathy, Isabelle has spent the last seven years studying Qigong and has been teaching regular classes for over 3 years.

What is Yuan Qigong and Ren Yuan?

Yuan Qigong is a time-honoured practice that harnesses the power of Qi, our inner life force energy. Stemming from traditional Chinese medicine, this gentle yet powerful regimen combines rhythmic movements, breathing exercises, and concentrated intention to nurture and balance Qi throughout the body.

Ren Yuan is the third method in the Yuan Qigong system. This method involves specific movements while cultivating an unique mind-body awareness, allowing the experience of deep stillness, relaxation and connection with oneself. With practice, one comes to feel the beauty and stillness within every movement. Out of the 9 methods in Yuan Qigong, Ren Yuan is the one that is the most physical as it stretches, strengthens and works on all parts of the body.

What will the workshop feature?

• An Introduction to Yuan Qigong and Ren Yuan: Uncover the principles, benefits, and deep-seated philosophy of this practice.
• Learning the sequence of movements involved in Ren Yuan: Master the basics of unblocking and smoothing Qi flow to foster physical and mental well-being.
• Everyday Self-Care Practices: Ren Yuan is divided in short segments which benefits certain energy pathways and areas of the body. This makes it easy to fit your daily routine and focus on your specific needs.
• Q&A Session: Receive customised guidance and insights to aid your personal journey.

What are the Benefits of Ren Yuan?

• Improved Physical Health: Ren Yuan is the method for unlocking vital energy pathways in the body. This allows the free flow of Qi which boosts circulation, flexibility and strength and bolsters your body’s innate healing ability. You can expect Ren Yuan to ease pain, diminish stress, help with posture and structural alignment and elevate energy levels.
• Enhanced Mental and Emotional Balance: With carefully guided movements and a special mind activity, Ren Yuan helps to calm the mind, alleviate anxiety, and foster emotional stability. Experience heightened clarity, sharpened focus, and a profound sense of serenity.
• Self-empowerment and Healing: Grasp simple yet potent techniques to trigger your body’s self-healing mechanisms. Yuan Qigong guides you in harnessing your inner strengths and assuming an active role in your health journey.

Who Should Participate?

This workshop, like its predecessor, welcomes participants of all levels—whether you’re a seasoned practitioner or new to the practice. Regardless of fitness level, experience, age, or focus abilities, everyone can find value in the transformative teachings of Ren Yuan. If you find it difficult to stand for more than 30 minutes attending a workshop on Tian Yuan and Di Yuan instead is recommended.

As we prioritise a personalised experience, spaces are limited to 8.
