Zvara Wellness

What's amazing about these sessions is doing Qigong together outdoors! 🌳 So far nothing has beat feeling the warmth of the sun on the skin, looking up at the clouds 🌫️ while practicing mindful movement, and feeling the grass underfoot 🌱

Plus, its been a blessing to meet such lovely people and watch their progress over these past 9 weeks! 💖 Rain or shine we'll meet for our last summer session on Monday - come join us! 🌈

Did you catch the eclipse yesterday? 🌞🌚
It was a solar eclipse - when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, briefly dimming the light and shifting the atmosphere. These cosmic moments happen somewhere on Earth roughly every 18 months, but we only see them locally every few years 🌍✨

Moments like this remind us how deeply we’re connected to nature’s rhythms.. the same cycles that influence our energy, sleep and mood. Taking time to notice them helps us feel more balanced and in tune with the world around us 🌿

If you missed it, the next solar eclipse visible from the UK will be on 2nd August, 2027 (a partial one)

And the next total solar eclipse we’ll see here won’t arrive until 23rd September, 2090.. a once‑in‑a‑lifetime moment (if we're still around!) 🌘✨

And of course… never stare at an eclipse directly 👀❌
I’m curious - how did you watch it safely?
Pinhole paper? Eclipse glasses? A colander? A cereal‑box viewer? Or did you just step outside and feel the shift in the air instead? ✨🌄

Practising Qigong in the rain has a beautiful TCM quality to it 🌧️😌

The slow, simple movements help strengthen your "Wei Qi," the body’s protective energy - so you feel steadier and have a strengthened immune system when the weather shifts between hot and cold. 🌥️🍂🐧

Being outdoors also supports the Lung system, which loves fresh air and gentle movement. 🫁💖

✨ What’s one thing that instantly makes your body feel more supported? 🤔

For me, it’s equipping myself with different ways to get more in time with my body.. to get that release, or relief from pain or discomfort using different poses, stretches or breathing techniques.🧘

Gym classes are great for energy and strength, but they also move fast! 🏋️ And you often you won't get the private instructions that can make all the difference to your practice.. this is where it becomes even more important to do what feels right for you. 💯

I often need more of a stretch afterwards and I use what's available! The foam roller has loads of uses, but today I used it to work out the achiness in my hip area 💛. That steady pressure helps everything settle in a way quick cool-downs can’t.

🦶 Saddle pose is such an underrated reset for calves and ankles. Long holds undo the tension from walking, standing and strength work — the kind of release your legs rarely get in a fast-paced environment.

And the feet… honestly, they’re your foundation 👣. Toe stretches and ankle mobility wake up the tiny muscles that support your whole chain: hips, knees, back - all of it.

🌿 It’s not about chasing a quick fix, it’s about allowing yourself the conditions you can take a pause and listen to what you actually need.. and giving your body time to respond. This creates space to open, release and feel supported 🫶

Feeling sluggish or tense? That is often Qi stagnation - stuck energy from daily stress and sitting 🪑🖥️😩

Qigong helps clear those blocks and restore your natural flow😌🌀

Join our outdoor Monday morning, on for 3 more weeks!
