Discover Qigong

Qigong (pronounced chi-gung) is an ancient mind-body practice combining breath, mindful movement and meditation to cultivate vitality, balance and deep relaxation.

Rooted in Daoist philosophy and traditional Chinese culture, Qigong is practised by millions of people around the world for its physical, mental and spiritual benefits.

Above all, Qigong is about learning the skill of moving away from the busy, everyday ‘thinking mind’ and discovering our ‘unconditioned mind’ - through a series of conditions that we will explore together.

In this immersive, fun workshop, you'll learn the fundamental principles,guided movement and breathwork, and discover how Qigong can support mobility, circulation, relaxation and mental wellbeing.

We will cover:

Qigong breathing techniques - using the breath to enhance relaxation, focus and health
Standing meditation - the classic standing posture for vitality
Daoist philosophy - the ideas and principles that underpin the practice
Baduan Jin (Eight Brocades) - learning a traditional Qigong sequence of eight movements

Expect a combination of movement, breath, meditation and philosophy, with plenty of opportunity to experience the practice for yourself in a friendly and welcoming space.

Come curious, wear comfortable, loose clothing, and be ready to move, breathe and learn something new.
