Welcome to The Shibashi Sanctuary
Mind ~ Body ~ Soul
Simple Tai Chi Qigong practices to protect your health, calm your nervous system, release tension and improve balance in body and mind.
Shibashi is a form of Tai Chi Qigong with 18 simple, flowing movements combined with calm breathing.
It helps improve balance, posture, circulation, core stability and alignment while also shifting the body out of stress mode and into rest-and-repair, reducing blood pressure, increasing lung function and helping improve anxiety symptoms.
Whilst improving joint mobility, reducing joint pain, improving muscle function and reducing the risk of injury.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, prevention is about taking care of your body, mind, and energy every day, so problems are less likely to build up in the first place. Shibashi helps to release hidden stress before it grows into something bigger, like high blood pressure, muscle pain, jaw tension, ongoing fatigue or rising anxiety.

Very much enjoy Nikki’s class… it has a lovely flow and is a great start to the week.
Nikki’s instructions are gentle and clear - and the music accompanying the class is equally relaxing! Would highly recommend 🙌
Enjoyed the class on Tuesday at Huntley. I’m new to Tai Chi. Nikki demonstrates and explains the moves clearly. Loved the music this week too🩷
Good teacher, approachable & encouraging. All levels catered for & you don't feel pushed to do more than is comfortable.
Very relaxing, meditational & energising
Having been only used to Yoga practice I had not experienced any formal Tai Chi Qigong and was a little unsure if it would give me the same benefit.
I need not have worried, from the very first session Nikki put me and the whole class at ease. Her style of teaching is excellent, she ensures everyone is able to go at their own pace and ability. I look forward to Monday evening for a little me time.
My husband has also joined the group as a way of gentle exercise to help with knee joint pain.
Thank you Nikki you’re a star.
I chanced across Nikki’s class on a FB post. With some apprehension I booked a couple of classes, having not attended an exercise class for several years.
I was pleasantly surprised with the friendly warm welcome from Nikki and other class attendees. What a relaxing and invigorating form of exercise Tai Chi is.
You can switch off from everyday stresses and focus on the tai chi moves and your breathing. So easy nowadays to rush ahead with everything, Nikki’s class allows you to stay in the moment and take some time to breathe and move.
Great class with an informative and fun instructor. Allie
