Hi Beautiful people!
I am Ekaterina, a certified Level 1 Qigong Instructor, a member of the Irish Health Qigong Association and a member of the International Tai chi and Qigong Federation ITQF.
I discovered Qigong for myself during the Covid time when all of us were looking for the wellbeing support. Having been practicing yoga for five years by that time and completed several mindfulness courses, I was exploring various ways of healing your body, mind and spirit in a holistic way.
I discovered the book “Shaolin: You don’t have to fight to win” by Bernhard Moestl. Non-fighting means including qigong and tai chi have become a revelation for me. These ancient healing practices discourage fighting and showing the value of the natural rhythm of life staying in harmony and peace with yourself.
I was practicing qigong, tai chi and kung fu, and have found qigong the most gentle practice out of these three. Being a holistic practice, qigong movements affect particular body organs and meridians. It is suitable almost for all ages and almost any physical condition, and can be done also seated.
It is viewed as practice to cultivate and balance qi energy or “life energy”. Qi is translated as “air, breath, life energy” and gong (or kung) is translated as “practice, skill, mastery, achievement”. Qi’ ‘Gong’ combined together mean practice to cultivate and balance your energy for health and wellbeing.
In my classes we are combining breathing and physical exercises, directing your energy in its natural harmonious flow. Some of Qigong movements imitate animals or nature, for example, bird flying, or a tiger posture. It is fun and it is something different.

I look forward to seeing you in my classes!

'Grateful Heart' workshop in YogaDublin
Yoga & Qigong workshop ‘Grateful Heart’ for women’s wellbeing is taking place on the 8th of February at 3pm – 5pm in Yoga Dublin facilitated by Ekaterina Voznesenskaia. Please find the detailsHere
Yoga & Qigong workshop is meant to support women on a journey toward self-love, care and compassion, creating a space for a grateful heart as part of our beautiful feminine energy that is loving, kind and grateful in its own nature. We are going to cultivate an open, grateful and compassionate heart that has wisdom and knowledge of the wild woman within each of us.
HEALTH BENEFITS
Through gentle health practices of meditations, hatha yoga and female qigong we are going to explore and cultivate a state of heart openness, self-acceptance and freedom of self-expression, that naturally brings us to discover a more grateful, loving and compassionate heart. This is a beautiful journey of self-discovery, self-care and personal growth when we are finding courage to look within and sense ourselves as incomparable, unique, beautiful women whose heart is loving, caring, filled of kindness, compassion and gratitude.
Such practices as yoga and qigong for female wellbeing, healing sounds, healing affirmations, poetry, journaling and group sharing help awaken, balance and harmonise feminine energy, bringing awareness to how it feels to be a woman, creating a sense of deeper connection to ourselves, to this wonderful woman living inside.
HATHA YOGA for female wellbeing
Hatha yoga for female wellbeing includes pranayama, grounding meditation techniques and asanas which help balance and harmonise our feminine energy, bringing bigger awareness to our feminine part that may need support, nourishment and care. Our feminine part is quiet, still and soft. This is when we can be vulnerable, when we are staying in stillness and quietness in the present moment simply valuing it the way it is. The state of stillness, quietness and slow motion is the nature of feminine energy and this is what we can discover and unleash within ourselves.
These practices cultivate a state of stillness, as Herman Hesse said: “within yourself is a stillness, a sanctuary to which you can retreat any time and be yourself”.
QIGONG FOR FEMALE wellbeing
Invaluable complementary part of the workshop is qigong, also known as meditation in motion. Gentle qigong practice helps maintain inner balance, stillness and peace, strengthen immune system, support a healing process and bring nourishment and new life energy to our overall health and wellbeing. A few years ago, I discovered a particular qigong style that is female qigong, and I have been learning, reading and studying a lot on this topic and, seeing its benefits, I started incorporating qigong for female health in my own personal and professional practice. Qigong breathing techniques can be healing, revitalising and nourishing, and they can be as a beautiful part of the yoga practice, or done by their own, depending on the need. Our workshop includes female qigong as a complementary part of the yoga practice.
I was practicing qigong, tai chi and kung fu, and have found qigong the most gentle practice out of these three. Being a holistic practice, qigong movements affect particular body organs and meridians. It is suitable almost for all ages and almost any physical condition, and can be done also seated.
In our workshop we are going to spend some time exploring qigong in dance. I have been teaching qigong in dance for a year already, it is a new style I have developed that is qigong movements beautifully combined with music, that can have a powerful nourishing effect on our body, mind and our overall wellbeing.
We are going to cultivate and discover a sense of gratitude within ourselves, being open to explore this sensation, listening to our body, becoming more comfortable with ourselves, accepting, loving and valuing ourselves the way we truly are.
This is a beautiful journey of self-discovery, and your presence and participation is what makes it especially precious and valuable. I am looking forward to sharing and connecting with you at our workshop!
