Anyone taking part in a Lotus-Seed Qigong exercise class, does so at their own risk.    

 

All Lotus-Seed Qigong is offered to you with your health and safety in mind; based on ancient Taoist movements, the classes and principles of Qigong have stood the test of time and are designed to increase health and vitality. 

 

The risk of injury whilst practising qigong is extremely low, especially as one of the key principles is listening to your body and respecting what it tells you.  If you have any pain or discomfort whilst practising, please ease off. 

 

If you have any serious underlying health conditions, are recovering from surgery, are pregnant  or are new to Qigong, please consult a GP for clearance to participate. A qigong class is not a substitute for medical care, diagnosis or treatment, so please do consult your doctor if you have any uncertainty before starting a class. 

 

Additionally, if you are taking any anti-psychotic medications, or experience severe psychiatric disturbances, this is strongly contraindicated with this particular practice. If you have been told on medical grounds not to take part in physical activity, then you won’t be able to join in with this exercise. 

 

To perform this activity in a safe way, you must make sure that the area you use is suitable. The area must be a flat surface, clear of any obstacles and spacious enough. 

 

The exercises in these classes or videos are designed for people with no health conditions but adaptations are given throughout the program.
