Qigong Retreats 2026

Qigong in Cornwall 21 - 23 August

Private 1 to 1 Classes

These classes work well if you wish to explore and experience QiGong / Tai Chi or simply destress.We mainly work with QiGong which are the solo moves of the more complex Tai Chi forms. They’re much easier to remember and more direct in their effectiveness.

We can also offer specific moves for different conditions be they physical, emotional or behavioural. These can help you alleviate or resolve them and to rebalance.

1 to 1 classes work well if you have a regular practice and need guidance and feedback every so often to maximise your practice.

Private classes are held in our Pentire studio in Newquay, Cornwall or via Zoom.



Qigong / Tai Chi can be likened acupuncture but you are using shape and movement instead of needles. It’s designed to connect you to Nature and its rhythms by relaxing and centring you.

We enjoy teaching and exploring the practise and philosophy as a means of self development, health and wellbeing. 

Solo movements are usually taught as Qigong / Chi Kung and can benefit specific meridians or energy channels in the body as commonly used in acupuncture. Running through the entire body as a comprehensive network their balanced flow of energy ensures good physical, mental and emotional health. The movements are a great introduction to the more complex forms or patterns of Tai Chi and a great first aid kit and self help tool.

The Tai Chi forms can become a deeper form of self development and means to explore the timeless principles of natural and cosmic law. These are often taught as a martial art.

As you refine patterns of movement you refine the behavioural patterns they represent. You are cross pollenating the metaphors represented by the meridian system and balancing them. The fundamental principles of alignment and posture help you discover your unique relationship to the world around you.

Mandalas in movement and intention are another way to describe Qigong. More commonly associated with circular Tibetan paintings mandalas contain specific points of focus and intention and their broader definition as ‘a vessel containing energy’ can be extended to everything.

We are all unique and Qigong can help us rest in that uniqueness whilst recognising the commonality of energy and its patterns. We need to ride the energy naturally in a state of relaxation allowing us to respond not react and bring our unique offering to the world in a harmonious manner.

Drop in classes start from £15 with class packs available.
