Yuan Qigong with Ali 🙏

Yoga is certainly not the only class we have here. Ali facilitates and practices Qigong - an ancient Chinese system of health care. Qi (life force energy), Gong (cultivation), make for a peaceful and productive fusion of the mind, body and breathing to improve your overall health and wellbeing. Instead of strength coming from building muscular power from contraction, it relies on Qi flowing freely.

Treat yourself and come away feeling relaxed, calm and energised all at once ✨

Never tried Qigong before? Welcome! Ali will offering a beginners class, starting soon, on Tuesday mornings, from 11:00am - 12:00pm.

Seasoned Qigong attendee? You might enjoy our intermediate class, also on Tuesdays from 09:30-10:45am.

Cost is $15:00 per class 🌸

Please contact Ali to book your spot
