QI Gong

Qigong (氣功) is an ancient Chinese practice that uses gentle movement, breath, and awareness to support balance in both body and mind. It is based on 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.

Qigong is a gentle, accessible form of exercise. Through simple movement and breath, it helps build strength, ease tension, and support a calmer, more settled state. The practice can be adapted for different abilities and energy levels, making it suitable for a wide range of people.

I began teaching Qigong as a way of sharing practices that restore the body’s natural harmony. Through gentle, supportive movement, people often feel less stressed and more connected to their bodies. For many, Qigong becomes a regular practice that supports balance, grounding, and a calmer state of mind, whether they are managing stress, illness, fatigue, or simply wanting to move and feel with more ease.

I would like to thank my teacher, Simon Blow, whose experience and depth of training continue to shape how I practise and teach Qigong. Simon has been teaching for over forty years and has studied extensively in China with highly respected Qigong masters, learning practices passed down through traditional lineages. Being taught in this way, close to the original sources of the practice, has given me a strong foundation and deep respect for Qigong as a living tradition.

I continue to train with Simon, and in 2026 I will travel to China with him to deepen my studies and immerse myself further in Qigong, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and the cultural roots of the practice.

I offer regular Qigong classes suitable for all abilities, with movements practised standing or seated and adapted as needed. Alongside weekly classes, I also offer workshops, and from 2026 will be offering Qigong retreats in natural settings.

“My brain never shuts off but it did then – I was quite taken by that.”

“Relaxing and de-stressing.”

“It’s very in the moment – I leave aside the things I need to do.”
