Qigong

What is Qigong?

Qigong (pronounced “chee-gong”) is an ancient Chinese mind-body practice that combines gentle, intentional movement, focused breathing, and meditation to cultivate and balance the body’s vital energy, or qi.

Rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine, its designed to optimise physical health, mental clarity and spiritual well-being. It builds strength, stability and balance from the inside out.

Across China and much of Asia, qigong is a part of daily life: practised every morning in parks, squares and open spaces by millions of people, often well into their eighties and nineties.

Why try it?

Qigong opens the body, works the muscles and settles the mind, and it’s suitable for every level of experience and physical ability, including rehabilitation.

It is both a personal practice and a shared one. What we do in class gives you something to practise at home between sessions.

We work with the seasons, because our bodies run to the same rhythm as the earth.
