Each month explores a new focus within the art of Qigong - gentle, flowing movement combined with mindful breathing and relaxation. These sessions are designed to help you release tension, restore balance, improve sleep, and cultivate calm, steady energy that you can carry into everyday life.

Rooted in both ancient wisdom and modern movement science, this is a therapeutic approach to Qigong - adaptable, evidence-informed, and accessible for all levels.

No experience is needed. Whether you’re new to Qigong or have practised before, you’ll learn simple yet profound techniques to support your body, mind, and spirit. Each workshop builds upon the last, guiding you through a progressive path toward feeling lighter, clearer, and more at ease.

Each component is designed to be accessible and adaptable. Movements can be modified according to your capacity and can even be done seated if preferred.

Who It’s For

These workshops are for anyone who wants to feel better in their body, mind, and energy, especially if you’re looking for a calm, mindful way to reduce stress and move with greater ease.
You might be:

• Feeling tense, tired, or out of balance and wanting a gentle reset

• Seeking natural ways to manage stress, anxiety, or fatigue

• Looking to improve sleep and build steady, sustainable energy

• Wanting to reconnect with your body through mindful, therapeutic movement

• Already practising yoga, meditation, or other movement arts and curious to explore Qigong as a complement

All movements can be adapted to suit your capacity and can even be done seated, so everyone is welcome.

What You’ll Gain

Over six months, you’ll develop a personal toolkit of therapeutic Qigong practices to help you:

• Relax more deeply and recover faster from stress

• Sleep more soundly and wake with greater vitality

• Feel calmer, clearer, and more centred throughout your day

• Cultivate emotional balance and resilience

• Move with greater freedom, ease, and awareness

• Integrate therapeutic movement and breathwork into daily life for long-term wellbeing

Each session offers time to learn, practise, and reflect, so you leave not only feeling better but also equipped with therapeutic tools you can use anytime, anywhere.

Research Insight
Regular Qigong practice has been shown to significantly reduce stress, anxiety, and depression while improving overall quality of life (Zou et al., 2018).

You’ll also gain physical benefits: research shows Qigong forms like Baduanjin can enhance flexibility, endurance, and composite measures of physical fitness (Ye et al., 2022).

Evidence Spotlight
Mind–body exercises such as Qigong can effectively improve sleep quality and reduce insomnia symptoms (Liu et al., 2020)

How to Prepare

• Wear comfortable clothing that allows easy movement

• Have a yoga mat or similar for seated or lying practices

• Keep a chair or stool handy for seated practice - no arms and firm seat rather than soft

• Stay hydrated; have water to hand

• A notebook if you like to jot down insights or reflections

You’re welcome to participate at your own pace. Movements can be modified or performed seated - comfort and safety come first.
