Learn to live well

The Practice

Qigong (氣功), a moving meditation, a practice for wellbeing - body, mind and heart.

It is an ancient art originating from China and based on principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine. It is inherently a mindfulness practice integrating the body, mind and heart, which are interconnected and cannot be separated.

Mindfulness (sati, remembering, 正念) - for clarity and freedom - a way of living, a skill everyone can and should learn or rediscover for a healthier mind and happier life.

Open Ground, open and grounded.

I was fortunate to have attended Ariyananda's Qigong sessions, for three consecutive weeks during a challenging period in relationships and community. The effect of these sessions was deeply balancing and grounding. The ripple effect was noticeable internally and externally. Ariyananda is a skilled practitioner and guide, but her radiant presence is the most healing factor above all, come and see!

Deepa Keshvala

Ariyananda is a truly gifted teacher of Qi Gong. Within the very first minute or two, I feel tension and anxiety drop away. Part way through the practice I experience peaceful bliss, and by the end, I feel at one with nature and the universe. I have complete faith in this ancient art and have watched many YouTube videos, but Ariyananda's presence and the qualities she emanates such as stability, groundedness, generosity of heart and compassion for all beings, take this practice to a whole different level. Ariyananda's classes are nurturing and easeful; I would recommend to anyone and everyone to just give it go and see how this beautiful practice can help to soothe and energise the whole system: body, heart and mind.
