Qi Gong
What is it?
Qi Gong is a form of gentle movement aimed at restoring balance and harmony to the body and mind. It is most effective when performed daily – 15 minutes a day can make a tangible difference!.
- It is sometimes referred to as ‘moving meditation‘.
- The ‘form‘ taught consists of 18 easy-to-learn movements which are performed in time with the natural rhythm of the breath.

Group sessions for older people
I have worked with the residents of local sheltered housing schemes for 3 years now with excellent results!
Group sessions are safe and informal and because the movements are simple and non-demanding, people are able to pick them up very quickly and perform them with confidence.
Qi Gong is very adaptable, so it is appropriate even for people with limited mobility or for people who need to sit down throughout the session.
