What is Qigong?
Qigong (pronounced “Chee-gung”) is a whole system for health and wellbeing, it is an ancient Chinese Art for Energy Cultivation - a practice to cultivate health, vitality and strength in a gentle way, using Intention instead of Force.

If you have been thinking of taking action to improve your physical, mental and emotional health, but don’t know what to do or where to start, Qigong might be just the right practice for you. It is simple, yet extremely effective.

Our Qigong sessions in London feature slow, fluid and harmonious movements are accessible to everyone regardless of current physical condition. It is a standing practice, but it can also be done from a chair if standing is not currently comfortable for you. You don’t need to lie down on a mat, be flexible or wear special clothes.

Unlike other forms of exercise, in Qigong in London we focus on: gently mobilising and lubricating all the joints in our body preventing or slowing down illnesses such as arthritis or chronic inflammation; learning to develop a better posture and a more structurally aligned spine; and building bone density. Our muscles also grow stronger and more flexible, lengthening without becoming bulky. Our balance and stability improve, which is so important as we grow old.

What are Qigong’s benefits?

The well-known Latin sentence, “Mens sana in corpore sano” is translated as, “A healthy mind in a healthy body”. Chinese wisdom is much more ancient, and they were aware that how we breathe, hold and move our bodies can have a profound impact on our mental and emotional health, balancing our emotions.

Qigong’s slow fluid movements will help you to quiet your busy mind and calm down the tension in your body. When your mind is clear and focused, and your body is calm and relaxed, you’ll be able to take the necessary steps to live a balanced life with more vitality. Additionally, the connection with the natural world that Qigong encourages through Intention and Imagery will develop the spiritual aspect of your life as well. Embrace the serenity of Qigong in London and embark on a journey to holistic well-being!
