Calling all Yoga and Pilates Teachers and Wellness Practitioners Have You Considered Adding Qigong to Your Toolkit?

If you are already in the wellness space, you know the power of movement, breath and mindful practice.

But have you ever considered adding Qigong to the skills and practices you already offer?

Our annual Qigong Teacher Training starts in just 2 weeks, and we have a few places remaining.

🌿 The training takes place over two weekends:

Friday evening 18th, Saturday 19th & Sunday 20th September
Friday evening 25th, Saturday 26th & Sunday 27th September

Qigong can be a wonderful complement to yoga, Reiki, Pilates, acupuncture, giving you new practices you can bring into your classes, workshops or one-to-one work — while also deepening your own personal practice.

During the training you'll learn how to:

✨ Teach practical Qigong movement and breathing practices - learning two full sets.
✨ Learn about Traditional Chinese Medicine and Meridians
✨ Help students develop greater calm, balance and vitality
✨ Bring fresh practices into your existing wellness classes
✨ Offer Qigong classes, workshops or sessions
✨ Deepen your own understanding of mindful movement, breath and wellbeing
✨ Add another valuable skill to your existing professional toolkit
✨ Potentially create an additional income stream through teaching Qigong

Think of Qigong as another tool in your toolkit.

There are beautiful points of connection between the Qiogong and all wellness practices — mindful movement, breath, awareness, balance and cultivating a deeper connection with the body.

Our training is practical, supportive and accessible, giving you the knowledge and confidence to begin teaching Qigong.

💚 And you don't need to worry about paying everything upfront — payment plans are available.

As it's short notice we can help arrange additional training of you need to leave early or arrive late.

The training is also priced to make professional development in this area accessible and affordable.

The next training starts Friday 18th September.

If you're a yoga or wellness teacher and you're curious about whether Qigong could complement what you already offer, feel free to contact us

Two places are still available.

Are you feeling fed up with your job?

Would you love to earn an extra income doing something meaningful?

Do you struggle with stress, anxiety, fatigue, or simply feel like there's got to be a healthier way to live?

If you answered "yes" to any of these, our Qigong (also spelled Chi Gong) Teacher Training could be exactly what you're looking for.

This isn't just a course for people who want to teach. It's an opportunity to transform your own health, wellbeing and confidence while learning ancient practices that are more relevant today than ever.

Imagine having practical tools to:
✨ Reduce stress and anxiety naturally
✨ Increase your energy and vitality
✨ Improve your physical and emotional wellbeing
✨ Feel calmer, stronger and more resilient
✨ Develop greater focus and mental clarity
✨ Support your own healing journey
✨ Help family, friends and your local community
✨ Create a rewarding new career or earn extra income by teaching classes

The wonderful thing about Qigong is that almost anyone can learn to teach it. You don't need to be super fit or have years of experience. If you have a genuine desire to help others and are willing to learn, we'll guide you every step of the way.

Our training is warm, supportive and practical, giving you skills you'll use for the rest of your life—whether you decide to become a teacher or simply want to experience the profound benefits for yourself.

Life is too short to spend every day feeling exhausted, stressed or unfulfilled. Investing in yourself could be the first step towards a healthier, happier future and perhaps even a completely new direction in life.

☯️ We’re starting something special this July: a 4-week Qigong course to reset your Sundays.

We'll explore flowing forms including Shibashi, Ba Duan Jin, and Wuxing Bagua Qigong, helping you cultivate strength, calm, mobility, and a little more ease in your everyday life.

No experience needed.�No pretzel-like flexibility required.�No special equipment.�Just you, your breath, and an hour carved out for yourself on a Sunday morning.

Warning: Side effects may include unexpected calm, improved posture, and finding yourself annoyingly serene in situations that would normally test your patience.

Join the full course or drop in when you can.

Still smiling from the Sunday Qi session with the lovely Indy Flow Yoga networking community. 🌙

We had the pleasure of representing Moonrise, sharing Qigong, Eastern philosophy, and a few gentle reminders that life doesn't always need to be lived at full speed!

A beautiful day of movement, connection and learning with some truly inspiring people. Thanks to everyone who joined us and made it such a special gathering xx

Yes, qigonging alone is one thing, but as a group, it is a whole different experience.
I mean, look at these ladies in their flow state…

Due to
- Social Connection
- Shared Intent
- Motivation

The benefits of the practise are always amplified because after all, us humans love a bit of connection don’t we?

Why not Qigong in a group with us on Sunday 14th June? Where you’ll learn the Five Element Qigong set and make some splendid new friends along the way :)
