Discover the ancient art of Qi Gong and enhance your wellbeing in this practical and supportive beginner course. Rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine, Qi Gong is a time-honoured system for cultivating health, vitality and longevity.
This course offers a deep dive into the Keystone Qi Gong set of Ba Gua Zhang, an internal martial art focused on awareness, sensitivity and relaxed, effortless power. Through coordinated posture, movement, breathing and intention, you will learn to regulate the flow of Qi (vital life energy), release long-held tension and restore balance to body and mind.
Over eight sessions, you will progressively learn and refine all six Keystone exercises, building confidence and developing a calm, centred presence that supports you in everyday life.
