Mindful Movement

Somatic Movement

Mindful Movement

Somatic Qigong is a mindful movement practice exploring embodied awareness, state shifting and reunion with your authentic self. Through slow, focused movements, breath work, and mindfulness. Unlike traditional exercises that focus purely on choreography and external movements, Qigong creates mindful space to come into a state of being.

Traditional Qigong is an anti-dote to the modern world of stories, thoughts, who, what, where why and whens. Put a gentle pause on your thinking, analytical, judgmental and anticipatory mind, and shift into a grounded, centred, compassionate, warm hearted child-like state, filled with curiosity and wonder. Qigong is like returning home.

Over May, June and July in 2025, I will be sharing Soma Dao Qigong in Shanklin and Ryde on the Isle of Wight, as well as via an online course on Patreon. Join me for a mind, body, spirit experience within your felt sense, and learn how to be in your body for the sake of being in your body.  Everyone welcome.
