Qigong (pronounced ‘chee gong’) is an ancient, holistic, healing tradition originally from China, that generates vitality and life force energy.

Qigong is practiced worldwide and has proven benefits. ‘Qi’ means energy and ‘Gong’ means movement. By combining breathing, awareness, movement, and meditation, practicing Qigong generates energy and restores quality health.

All of the movements help the Qi (energy) flow along the energetic channels in the body, strengthening the body, mind and spirit and promoting vitality. Qigong movements also balance the circulation and stimulate the internal organs.

The benefits of regular Qigong practice include:

  • A feeling of youthfulness characterised by more energy and less stress
  • A healthier body including noticeably improved posture, flexibility and tone
  • Improved problem-solving, better judgement, mentally ‘quicker’
  • A more positive approach and attitude to life
  • Healing specific ailments including recovery from injury

Yes, we are an energy system, and it is critical we keep the energy flowing through our body – for stagnation breeds dis-ease.  Michael teaches us ways to do this that are fun, gentle, life giving and valuable for us now, and in the future as we develop our self-mastery.

Michael lives what he teaches. His perception of life is insightful, evolved, and wise. Yet he provides self-mastery lessons in way that is down to earth and with humour. I’m very grateful for what I’m learning from Michael!

Michael comes prepared for each class, revises earlier work and introduces us to new patterns and movement. Each hour-long class seems to go so quickly. Great Qigong instructor.
