Sometimes qigong can seem a little impenetrable to people - especially if you are new to it.
Think of it as a moving meditation that develops energy in the body and has specific health benefits. It translates as qi= energy, gong =work.
Throughout 2026 a variety of qigong forms will be taught at Strathaven Meditation and Qigong - all with specific benefits. Right now the class is focusing on Yi Jin Jing- a form to develop and strengthen the tendons, muscles, sinews and bones. After Easter we'll ease into Nei Yang Gong- a set of movements to massage the inner organs and help digestive disorders. Then, following the summer holidays our focus will turn to wellbeing and preserving good health with Daoyin Bao jian gong.
Do you fancy something different to help with your health and wellbeing?
Do you enjoy yoga and would like to try something new?
Or is yoga too much and you'd like something a little softer? If so, qigong might be for you.
With classes on at the amazing Lochar Mill Riverside Retreat every week, get in touch if you'd like to come along and see what qigong can do for you.
