Qigong is an ancient system of self healing that promotes physical, emotional, mental wellbeing and longevity through a system of postures that open and clear the energy meridians in the body.
Now that statement is overly simplistic….. It does much much more.
It can:
- make you stronger and more flexible
- increase your lung capacity
- lower your blood pressure and strengthen your heart
- stimulate your body’s natural energy
- stimulate your major organs, increasing function and efficiency
- increase your connection with yourself and the universe
12 Rivers Qigong
This style of Qigong is a family style, that means that is has been handed down through the centuries to family members.
It is a form comprised of 12 moving postures that correspond with the body’s major organs. 12 Rivers Qigong stimulates the organs and their energy meridians, clearing energy blockages and promoting better health an wellbeing.

Wudang 5 Elements Qigong
This is an ancient style of Qigong from the Doaist Temples of the Wudang mountains in China. It follows the 5 element theory from Traditional Chinese Medicine by matching 5 animal postures with the 5 elements which then correspond with the 5 major organs;
- Water – Dragon – Kidneys
- Metal – Tiger – Lungs
- Wood – Leopard – Liver
- Earth – Snake – Spleen / pancreas
- Fire – Crane – Heart

These sessions look in depth at different breathing techniques, mindful movement of our internal energy and then works with our energy fields.
