🧘 Yoga & Movement

Qi Gong & Tai Chi

Slow, flowing internal arts that cultivate life energy, balance and unhurried strength.

Ancient Origin

With roots in Chinese longevity practice reaching back some four thousand years, Tai Chi evolved as a martial art in the Chen village in the 1600s; Qi Gong's healing branches were refined through Taoist, Buddhist and medical lineages.

What It Helps With

Tension, poor balance and a racing system — needing strength that comes from softness.

About This Practice

Qi Gong ('energy skill') and Tai Chi are China's internal arts: slow, continuous movement coordinated with breath and attention, practised for centuries to cultivate qi, loosen the joints and settle the heart. They look gentle; underneath, they are profound training in balance, rootedness and calm power.

How a Session Works

Sessions teach short, repeatable forms and standing meditation — weight-shifting, spiralling, softening the chest, sinking the mind into the body. The practice is cumulative: regular attendance reveals steadier balance, easier breathing and a quieter baseline.
