Qigong & Kum Nye Workshop 21st March
We have an exciting collaboration with an expert in the field of Kum Nye, a remarkably gentle and extraordinarily powerful Tibetan Healing Art. Jonathan Clewley will be guiding a session of Kum Nye after a session of Qigong in a workshop on 21st March 2026. Jonathan has a wealth of experience in this practice and we are fortunate to have this opportunity to collaborate. Come and join us for an afternoon of releasing and rebalancing our bodies and minds on the most balanced day of the year, the Spring Equinox. The perfect way to begin the real start of the year!
Qigong in the Park
A huge THANK YOU to our wonderful Qigong in the Park participants. During 2025 we collected a whopping £1838.41 for the Woodland Trust.
A fantastic achievement!
In 2026 we will continue collecting donations for the tree charity Woodland Trust. We will also be donating a percentage of donations to "Friends of Pittville" who do excellent work looking after the park and making it a beautiful place for us to practise.
Tai Chi Peace Walk

You are invited to practise the meditative Tai Chi walk on the first Thursday of every month. This is a quiet action for peace - both within ourselves and in the wider world. We practise in front of Pittville Pump Room in Cheltenham at 9am and on this monthly peace walk day, everyone is invited to wear something white to symbolise peace. All are welcome to join.
Please come and join together for a shared intention of Peace.
Our weekly park class continues as normal at 9am every Thursday.

Rewire Retreat Peru November 2026
I am fortunate to be part of an exciting new ten day transformative retreat in the Sacred Valley, Peru hosted by Balance Holistic Retreats.
An opportunity to reconnect with nature and yourself in a spectacular, ancient landscape alongside a trip to the unforgettable Macchu Picchu.
It is a magical experience practising Qigong surrounded by majestic mountains, beautiful hummingbirds and amongst towering, fragrant eucalyptus forests. Come and join us for the experience of a lifetime!

Lao Tzu - The Art of not Trying
Qigong (pronounced "chee gong") is an ancient Chinese healing art and self-cultivation system. This includes simple, gentle movement, posture, breathing techniques, self-massage and meditation.
These practices can improve and maintain health: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. We bring in fresh "Qi" (life energy) to nourish and energise the body. At the same time the mind is calmed, bringing a welcome balance to our lives.
Try one of our free videos on our "Free Resources" page and/or come and join us for an online or in-person session to bring more vitality, peace and freedom into your life!
