Some comments from the end of the class:<\/p>\n<p><h3>Good to repeat<\/h3>\n<p> &#8220;I have been training for many years, but it&#8217;s been a long time since my last week-end course. It has been great to repeat, to correct and to get inspiration. Very relaxing. I think it&#8217;s good to take a course once a year.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is my second basic course. I am happy I took a second one, the first time around I was a bit skeptical. Maybe I am less skeptical now. It felt great, except in the feet.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I took my first class in February. Now I got more material to work with and answers to many of my questions. I am trying Qigong because I try to improve my wellbeing after a great loss.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/stu-ekenas010412.jpg\" alt=\"Eken\u00e4s LUQ 120331\"><\/p>\n<p><h3>Liking the calm<\/h3>\n<p> &#8220;I have been on sick leave for long periods of time, because of back and neck problems. A coworker had tried a class of Qigong and recommended it to me. It has been great fun. I like the calm a lot. I think this could be something for me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I have been wanting to find a light form of exercise. Everything I&#8217;ve tried before has been tough. The calm in this practice suits me. I have problems with neck and shoulders, and so I wanted to give this a chance.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><h3>Group training a good support<\/h3>\n<p> &#8220;I have no physical health issues, except sometimes pain in the neck. But there is all kinds of stress in my daily life, I&#8217;d need to relax. Yesterday evening I noticed I was more relaxed than usually. And this philosophy feels familiar. I think group training is very important.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I would never have imagined taking a class like this. I have always been into very dynamic sports. I love it. It was an ex-coworker who recommended me to try Qigong. I plan to come to the group training. The movements are good for the calm and the balance. A class like this is great for relaxing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><h3>Training morning and night<\/h3>\n<p> &#8220;I took my first qi gong class in 2004, but it took many years before I started practising regularly. Now it is my most important excercise physically as well as mentally. It feels very good. I usually practise every morning. Now I&#8217;ll start practising in the evening as well.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><h3>No more lumbago<\/h3>\n<p> &#8220;I have been practising for a while. I started because of recurring lumbago. Before I&#8217;d tried with exercise and walks. It took a while before I started noticing improvements. Now I no longer suffer from lumbago, or only rarely and only for one day. Previously I could be out for a week. I started for physical reasons, but now the mental effects are more important to me. I have more energy, I&#8217;m happier and more relaxed, And I haven&#8217;t had a cold for years. I practise every day, quite much. Since 2009 I have participated in the summer courses. It took a long time before I wanted to go, but it was really wonderful.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Teacher:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Margareta Willner-R\u00f6nnholm<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After the first day most of the participants felt relaxed and pleasently calm and had had an unusually good nights sleep.
