About Jenny's Energy Balance class
Some of you will already know Jenny Dodd who is BSRV’s Program Manager, and she is also an internationally certified DRU Yoga, Meditation and Qigong teacher with over 20 years' experience.
Jenny’s Energy Balance class is always evolving to ensure the health and wellbeing for people with vision loss who often have specific needs. Generally, classes incorporate slow stretches, gentle flowing movement, breath-work and stillness, accompanied by a strong focus on presence.
What is Qigong
Qi" is your energy and "gong" is the work you do on your energy.
Qigong (“chee-GONG”) is an ancient Chinese practice of learning how energy works in your body, so you can heal yourself physically, emotionally and spiritually.

Testimonials
"Thank you so much Jenny, so wonderful to be a part of the online fitness sessions for the past two years. I know that these classes have been of great benefit to me." Janene.
"I am delighted that the 9.30am, home program will be continuing. It is proving to be a very valuable program for me, thank you. At my age I am not doing high kicks, but I am moving my feet and hopefully improving my balance and general movement. The Wednesday session adds just so much to my general feeling of wellbeing, many thanks." Thelma.
