Chakradance is a free-flowing movement practice rooted in Jungian philosophy, set to music that resonates with the body’s seven chakras.

There’s no choreography—just music, guided imagery, and the freedom to move in a way that feels right for you. It’s a gentle but powerful way to release stuck energy, rebalance, and feel more connected to yourself.

Qi Gong = Breath + Movement + Mindful Awareness   

Qi (pronounced “Chi”) is energy, your own energy, your vital life force. Gong means work or skill. Qi Gong is becoming skilful at managing your own energy, to improve your overall health and wellbeing. Qi Gong is Meditation in Motion. (Tai Chi is a small sub-set of qi gong.) 

Qi Gong can help you feel better during (Peri)Menopause

Hormones are essential for every cell in our body to function properly. As a woman ages and her sex hormone levels decrease (perimenopause and then menopause) her yin energy drops. If yin energy lowers, yang energy has to increase. Yang energy is heat, active, doing, agitation which in turn leads to disturbed sleep, hot flushes, distraction, frustration; just some of the many (peri)menopause symptoms.

Stress is an ever-present feature in our lives. Stress exerts an incredible influence on (peri)menopausal symptoms. The ‘rushing woman’ embodies a lot of stress in her day-to-day life and in so doing exacerbates all of the symptoms she experiences. Our body can only generate one hormone at a time. If cortisol is being generated oestrogen, for example, cannot also be generated. In addition, high levels of cortisol is partly responsible for weight gain around the tummy. The first step to balancing hormones, at any age, and feeling better is tackling stress (cortisol) levels. Qi Gong is wonderful at lowering stress levels and increasing energy, bringing the body into balance. When the body is in balance you feel better.

Qi Gong is a low-impact form of exercise which turns your stress into vitality for a happier and healthier life. 

Join Detour for a social bike ride and yoga practice in East Lothian, on the 4th May! Our events aim to bring people together to be active, minfdul, and connected to the outdoors.

We will meet by PATH (Portobello Active Travel Hub, on Porty Promenade, end of Pipe Lane) at 9am. We’ll ride around 15 miles to Longniddry, with plenty of stops to chat, hydrate and enjoy the scenery. The route is mostly made up of cycleways, gavel/forest paths and quiet roads, suitable for most bikes.

Around 11am we will arrive at Fern Bothy, where snacks and hot drinks will be provided. Jorja will then lead a 1 hour Vinyasa Yoga class, suitable for all levels. Class will begin with grounding, breathwork and gentle mobilisation, before building into more dynamic flows. The practice will gradually wind down through calming postures and savasana.

You are welcome to jump on a train home from Longniddry, or ride back to Edinburgh together! (Please arrange your own train ticket and bike booking if you are taking this option.)
