Strathaven Meditation and Qigong

16/05/2026

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.

Qigong is a moving meditation. One that calms the mind and improves physical health - especially improving balance, coordination, muscle strength and flexibility. Think of the flow of yoga but with a focus on movement instead of stretching.

Below are the first three postures in Nei Yang Gong- the new form being taught at Lochar Mill Riverside Retreat on Thursday nights. Nei Yang Gong means inner nourishing and is especially beneficial for those with digestive and tummy issues.

There are a couple of spaces still available if you act quickly. A block of 4 weekly classes is £32.

I believe this to be true. Inner peace leads to outer peace.
