What is Qigong

Qigong is one of the five pillars of Chinese medicine and for over 2500 years has helped to benefit peoples health and wellbeing. Qigong combines the mind, body, and breathe flowing through a series of active and dynamic movements. It is a kind of moving meditation that is deeply balancing, nourishing, and healing and is suitable for all ages and levels of fitness.

‘Qi' means 'life energy’ and ‘gong' means 'work, cultivate or practice’, so Qigong is a practice that supports and cultivates your life energy.

Just as nature is balanced and harmonious, we work towards bringing this balance and harmony into our bodies, which helps us to replenish, renew and restore our energy.

In a world where so many people feel overwhelmed, drained, exhausted and running on empty- qigong leaves your mind relaxed, your body open and your qi flowing freely.

By cultivating the free flow of qi and blood around the body, purging and nourishing, and strengthening the vital organs the body heals and rebalances. Health and wellbeing in body and mind is supported and restored from the inside out.

An ancient practice for better health in our modern world

Better Health

How does it work?

There is a chinese proverb which says ‘Where there is flow there is no pain,where there is pain there is no flow.’

Qi (energy) flows along specific pathways in our bodies known as meridians. These flows of energy are similar to rivers and streams found in nature-when they have clean water flowing freely they are full of life.

Lifestyle, injury, illness and stress can cause qi in organs and meridians to become blocked, stagnant or deficient.

A regular qigong practice cultivates fresh qi and clears stagnation. It's the stagnation which causes pain, heat and inflammation, hormonal imbalances, menopausal symptoms, and much more.

So with the free flow of qi we see great benefits in how we feel. The mind becomes calm and free, and the body is energised in a deeply sustainable way.
