Qigong

Qigong (氣功) is a gentle practice that uses simple movement, breath, and awareness to support balance in both body and mind. It is rooted in the understanding that we are part of nature, and that health comes from working with the body’s natural rhythms rather than pushing or forcing.

The movements are slow, soft, and accessible. Practised regularly, Qigong can help ease tension, improve strength and mobility, and support a calmer, more settled state. The practice can be adapted to suit different abilities and energy levels, making it suitable for most people, including those living with illness, fatigue, or stress.

My approach

I began teaching Qigong as a way of sharing practices that help restore the body’s natural harmony. Classes are taught in a calm, supportive way, with an emphasis on listening to the body and moving with ease rather than effort.

Many people find that Qigong helps them feel less mentally busy and more grounded in their bodies. Over time, it can become a steady, supportive practice that brings greater balance, clarity, and ease into everyday life.

Training and lineage

My teaching is shaped by my ongoing training with Simon Blow, who has over forty years’ experience and has studied extensively in China with highly respected Qigong masters. Learning within this traditional lineage has given me a strong foundation and a deep respect for Qigong as a living, embodied practice.

I continue to train with Simon, and in 2026 I will be travelling to China to deepen my studies and immerse myself further in the cultural roots of the practice.

Classes and retreats

Qigong sessions are offered in person and online, with practices adapted to suit different abilities, energy levels, and needs. Qigong is also offered as part of retreats, in collaboration with other practitioners and when invited to teach within wider retreat programmes.
