QiGong (a term introduced in 1949) describes a broad set of life-nurturing practices, developed over thousands of years, that support holistic self-care and wellbeing.

“Qigong is a jewel with many facets.” — Ken Cohen

TaiChi, as it is widely practised today, evolved from centuries-old martial arts forms and was standardised by the Chinese National Sports Commission in 1999 as a health practice rather than a combat system.

“Spiritual balance is tai chi. It sits at the centre—where yin and yang meet.
In the chakra system, it aligns with the heart chakra, Anahata.” — Frederick Lenz

QiGong & TaiChi Flow Classes

These classes blend QiGong and TaiChi into a calm, meditative practice rooted in China’s ancient traditions of integrative health and self-care, influenced by Taoist and Buddhist philosophy.

 In each class, you’ll learn and practise these health-supporting principles:

• Breath work — simple techniques to settle the mind and support relaxation.

• Gentle, nourishing movement — flowing forms that build flexibility and strength and support physical wellbeing.

• Emotional balance and resilience — mindfulness and meditation to ease anxiety and encourage steadiness.

These classes are suitable for:

• All experience levels (beginner to advanced)

• All abilities

• All ages

No prior experience in QiGong or TaiChi is needed.

Classes are kept small and welcoming, with an interactive style that makes learning supportive, enjoyable, and often light-hearted.
