Qi has been an oasis of calm and healing on the Northern Beaches since early 2001 and continues to attract the cream of Sydney’s teachers and therapists.Our goal is to provide easy access to classes and practitioners in a beautiful environment. This is the same life-giving energy represented by Prana in Yoga or Chi (or Ki) in oriental medicine. Our classes and treatments try to increase this precious energy in all of us leading to transformation of our health, vitality and wisdom. Qi Health & Yoga was opened in 2001 and recently brought by Oriana Chee, a mother of 3 children who has dedicated the last 20 years into teaching Pilates, fitness and plant based nutritional support. Her vision for the next chapter at Qi is to continue what has already been created, serving everyone looking for integrative options for their physical, mental and spiritual well-being. Raising the next generation of health practitioners and leaders to be authentic in their practices.

✨ New Year Clearing & Closing Ceremony: Remembering Your Medicine ✨

Wednesday 31 December, 2025
3:00pm - 5:00pm
$79.00

As the year comes to a close, we invite you into a sacred space of reflection, release, and renewal. Remembering Your Medicine is a transformative New Year ceremony designed to help you alchemise the past, activate your inner energy, and step gracefully into the sacred void—the fertile space where new beginnings are born.

🌿 In this ceremony, we will:
• Clear and release the emotional weight and energetic residue of the year
• Alchemise past experiences into wisdom, resilience, and inner power
• Activate your life-force energy through guided practices
• Enter the sacred void, the quiet womb of possibility where intuition deepens and clarity emerges
• Reconnect with your medicine—your unique gifts, truth, and purpose

🔥 This is an invitation to close the year consciously, with intention and reverence.
🌙 A moment to honour what has shaped you, let go of what no longer serves, and create space for what is ready to rise.

If you’re ready to step into the new year grounded, empowered, and fully aligned, we would love to hold this space with you.

Join us as we close the year in ceremony, remembrance, and renewal. ✨

✨ Self-awareness is an internal practice.
It’s not something we achieve once — it’s something we return to, again and again.

Through regular practices that connect us to a force greater than our own abilities — whether through movement, breath, meditation, or stillness — we begin to expand beyond the limits of the mind.

Each moment of awareness strengthens the bridge between body, heart, and spirit.
From that space, we grow — not just as individuals, but as whole, connected beings. 🌿

"You are as young as your spine is flexible." by Joseph Pilates

Joseph Pilates believed that the health of the spine was directly linked to overall vitality and youthfulness. Here’s a deeper look:

1. Spinal Health = Overall Health: The spine houses and protects the central nervous system (the spinal cord), which is the body's communication highway between the brain and every other part of the body. A stiff, misaligned spine can impede nerve function, leading to pain, reduced organ function, and a general feeling of being "old."
2. Flexibility vs. Rigidity: Youth is often associated with suppleness, ease of movement, and adaptability. As people age, they often become more rigid, both physically and mentally. Pilates saw a direct correlation: a flexible spine allows for a greater range of motion, which keeps the body agile and feeling young.
3. The Core Connection: A strong, flexible spine is supported by a strong "Powerhouse" (the core muscles of the abdomen, lower back, and glutes). When the core is strong, it properly supports the spine, improving posture, preventing back pain, and creating an appearance of confidence and vitality.
4. A Metaphor for Life: On a deeper level, the quote can be seen as a metaphor. A flexible spine represents a flexible mind—openness to new experiences, adaptability to change, and resilience. Pilates believed physical health was inseparable from mental and spiritual well-being.

In essence, Joseph Pilates wasn't just talking about the number of years you've lived. He was defining youth as a state of physical freedom, strength, and vitality—all of which, he argued, are founded upon a healthy, flexible, and well-supported spine.
