Qigong (also known as Chi Kung) means the cultivation of energy. It is a gentle form of Chinese health exercise which emphasises softness, natural movement and the release of tension to improve health and vitality. Qigong is considered a pillar of Traditional Chinese Medicine and is sometimes described as the “Grandmother of Tai Chi”.

Qigong promotes relaxation and wellbeing by connecting with and increasing internal healing energy.  It is based on combining flowing movement with deep breathing and focusing the mind. It can also include visualisations, standing meditation, and self-massage techniques (Do-In).

Practicing Qigong leads to: 

  • Better posture, flexibility, co-ordination and balance    
  • Improved circulation and breathing
  • A calmer mind and better concentration
  • Reduced stress levels
  • An increased sense of aliveness and wellbeing

Mark has drawn on many traditions and practices of Qigong, especially Shibashi, as well as Tai Chi, and Taoist and Buddhist Yoga, to create his own Magpie Qigong style.  

Mark teaches Qigong classes and workshops across Somerset and beyond at festivals and summer schools. Click here for details of Mark's Qigong classes and workshops.
