Shibashi Qigong 5 DayRetreat Busot Alicante 7th May 2026
We will be holding a retreat focusing on the Shibashi set 1.
Shibashi is Manderin for 18 and is a series of 18 energy-enhancing exercises that co-ordinate movement with breathing and mindfulness. It is a gentle beautiful and flowing exercise routine that is deeply relaxing and beneficial for people of any age and fitness level.
Shibashi was developed by Professor Lin Hou Sheng in 1979 and is based on the Yang style of Tai Chi and are simple and easy to learn.
The benefits of this practice are an overall improvement in health and well-being. Its gentle stretching motions improve circulation and digestion, while controlled breathing supports lung health. It relieves mental stress and eases muscle tension and brings balance to both body and mind.
The retreat will be a combination of daily qigong and workshops taught by a collaboration of our guest teacher Bruce Clarke, an extremely experienced and qualified qigong teacher from UK who we have run previous successful and popular events before and myself Yvonne Rollinson, also a qualified qigong instructor teaching in Spain. There will be daily classes and some excursions out and a class on the beach by the beautiful Mediterranean as well practicing in the countryside of Busot.
