With every passing day this feels more true. Do you agree?

Check out the video for a flavour of the qigong that's happening at Lochar Mill Riverside Retreat. A centring mix of movement, breath and meditation. Fancy giving it a try? There are only 2 spaces left at the one off Shi Ba Shi qigong morning on Saturday 4th July. A full morning of movement- you'll leave knowing a full qigong form. Get in touch for more details.

See this wee window? This is the window at the Studio at Lochar Mill Riverside Retreat. The other week whilst I was leading class a fox, a hare and a heron came by- and you could see them through the window. How amazing is that. Practising qigong in nature!❤️🙏🧘🦊🐰🐦

Qigong changes your brain- it improves memory, processing, executive function and visuospatial skills. 🤯

Qigong combines gentle movements, breathwork, and focused attention or meditation.

When the weather is good there is nothing better- or more freeing- than doing qigong outside. Here are a couple of images from my amazing Thursday night group at Lochar Mill Riverside Retreat . At the moment the group is full, but I'm hoping to run some one off courses in the summer teaching new forms. If you'd like to know more about qigong, the Thursday class or my summer plans get in touch.🙏

Would you like to improve your balance and coordination? What about muscle strength or flexibility?
Qigong could be just what you need. A local and relaxed class is underway in a beautiful countryside location just outside Strathaven.
