🌿 Feeling stiff, tired, stressed or a little disconnected from your body lately?🌿 Looking for a simple, embodied way to stay grounded and present during these fast-moving, uncertain times?
This afternoon immersion is an invitation to slow down, move gently and reconnect with your natural vitality in a relaxed, friendly and nourishing space.
Tai Chi and QiGong are ancient practices from Chinese medicine, using slow, flowing movements, breathing and awareness to support the body’s natural healing, strength and balance.
You’ll be guided through simple, accessible movements that calm the mind, strengthen the body and help energy flow more freely - leaving you feeling more grounded, open and alive.
It’s light, enjoyable and deeply restorative, with movements you can continue practising at home, supported by a video reminder after the session.
✨ Only 12 spaces available
🌿 Early bird ends 22 February

A NOTE ON THE FIRE HORSE YEAR (2026) 🔥🐎
2026 carries the bold, forward-moving energy of the Fire Horse.
It’s a year that invites courage, momentum and embodied confidence, but only when we’re grounded enough to hold that fire.
Tai Chi and QiGong help you stay steady while life moves quickly, strengthening your roots so you can move forward with clarity, inner knowing and trust in your body.
