Restorative Qigong

Qigong is one of the oldest health practices in the world. It is deeply relaxing and easier to learn than Tai Chi.

Restorative Qigong is a very gentle form of Qigong practice that facilitates the recovery of health and vitality.

Slow gentle movements are combined with abdominal breathing to create meditative movement, a tranquil mind and strengthen Qi (energy).

Weekly group classes are available on Monday afternoons, Tuesday mid morning and Wednesday mid mornings. Classes are also periodically run on Tuesdays on behalf of The Cancer Council and St.Luke’s Health at St.Luke’s wellness hub. ( See St.Luke’s Wellness Hub website for details).

How Qigong works

Qigong practice aims to facilitate conscious control over the autonomic nervous system and increased efficiency of the respiratory system. When the body is deeply relaxed and the mind peaceful, the considerable healing abilities of the body can be fully activated. Qigong can also moderately build strength and increase flexibility.

Restorative Qigong is ideal for those feeling exhausted, overwhelmed or stressed by life, battling chronic disease and for those wishing to develop a deeper calmness amid life's busyness.
