Waking up with stretching and chi kung on Mareta beach

Gentle movement at sunrise on Mareta sand: stretch, breathe and set your energy flowing before the day begins.

Mornings are the spring of our day, whatever the season of the year. That is when energy rises — in the body and in the mind — and that is why what you do first thing decides the rest.

We begin on the sand, barefoot, with stretches that wake the body without forcing it. Then come the chi kung forms: slow, continuous movements inspired by the Elements of Nature and by animals, which unblock and set the energy running. Breath, Movement and Intention are the key words in our practice.

Open to everyone, with or without experience. Bring comfortable clothes; the beach provides the rest.
