Join me for Monday evening qigong in Boscombe – gentle movement, deep breathing, and stillness. A chance to arrive fully in your body, release what the weekend left behind, and meet the week from a place of calm rather than rush.

Each month follows a different theme, moving with the seasons and the elements. We explore traditional forms with curiosity and playfulness, learning ancient practices that help us meet modern life with more ease.

No experience needed. Come as you are.

What is qigong?

Qigong (pronounced "chee-gong") is an ancient Chinese practice of gentle movement, breath, and meditation.

Imagine tai chi's flowing grace, yoga's mindful awareness, and meditation's stillness – all woven together. You move slowly, breathe deeply, and allow your attention to settle.

It's less about doing it "right" and more about feeling your way into each movement. Playful. Meditative. Restorative.

You don't need to be flexible, fit, or coordinated. You just need to be willing to slow down and pay attention.

Moving with the Seasons

March: Wood Element

As the earth wakes and green shoots push through soil, we work with Wood energy – the element of spring, growth, and new beginnings. Wood forms stretch and open, helping us release what's stuck and make space for what wants to emerge. Perfect timing as we move toward the spring equinox.

April: The Five Elements

In April, we journey through all Five Elements – Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water. Each element has its own quality and wisdom, connecting to different organs, emotions, and seasons. You'll learn sequences that work with each element, discovering how qigong maps the body as energy and flow.
