Qigong for Wellbeing

Qigong (pronounced "chi gong") is an ancient practice developed thousands of years ago as part of traditional Chinese medicine. It involves gentle exercises designed to optimise energy (qi) within the body, mind, and spirit. Through poses, movements, and breathing techniques, Qigong promotes a healthy flow of energy and helps reduce stagnation.

When we move our bodies in this particular way, it aids in circulating blood and oxygen throughout the body, nourishing and stimulating internal organs and tissues, and supporting healing. Focusing on the breath and movement, Qigong quiets the mind, reduces stress, and eases anxiety.

Overall, regular Qigong practice improves your wellbeing by strengthening and flexing the body, boosting the immune system, lowering blood pressure, and regulating the nervous system. It enhances the body’s resilience to stress and helps promote a balanced, healthy life.

Qigong also plays a powerful role in releasing stagnant energy within the body. Left unaddressed, this stagnant energy can lead to pain, illness, and fatigue. By encouraging the smooth flow of energy, Qigong supports self-healing and restores balance, helping you feel more vital and at ease.

There are many forms of Qigong—more than 10,000 styles! The practice I teach combines gentle movements with deep connection to the breath, helping you maintain better physical and psychological health.

Research, as well as participants' personal experiences, highlight these key benefits:

• Improved mobility
• Reduction or elimination of pain
• Harmony between the body and the mind
• Improved breathing
• Reduced symptoms of anxiety and depression
• Increased energy and reduced fatigue
• Improved mood
• Enhanced immune system
• Improved sleep
• Reduced symptoms of menopause

Qigong is a gentle and accessible practice that supports the body, mind, and spirit. Whether you're new to Qigong or looking for a practice that suits your abilities, this is a space where you can feel supported, relaxed, and empowered.The movements and breathing techniques in Qigong are designed to help you feel more balanced, ease physical discomfort, reduce stress, and increase your energy. With regular practice, you will feel calmer, more centred, and more connected to your body.

I offer both individual and group classes, each designed to meet you where you are in your journey.

Individual Classes: These are personalised to your unique needs, ensuring that you feel at ease and gain the most from your practice, whether you’re just beginning or seeking a gentle practice to support your wellbeing.
 

Group Classes: In a small, supportive group, you’ll have the opportunity to build confidence and experience the full benefits of Qigong over an 8-week course. These sessions create a supportive community and encouragement as you grow in your practice.
 

All classes are 60 minutes long, and you can choose to practice with me at my studio in Wadhurst, online from the comfort of your home, or outdoors (weather permitting).

If you're ready to begin, or if you have any questions, simply reach out to book a class or learn more. I’m here to help guide you every step of the way.
