THE PRACTICE

A focused blend of Qigong and Taoist Yoga

A restorative practice that combines gentle movement, breathwork and meditation to calm the nervous system and support vitality—aimed at reducing stress, anxiety and fatigue while improving circulation and posture.

THE SETTING

Cosy cabin in winter, outdoors in fair weather

Sessions are seasonally adaptive: held indoors in a cosy cabin during winter or conducted outdoors on the farm when weather allows, providing a sheltered, intimate environment for practice.

THE FORMAT

Small groups and personalised attention

Classes run as small-group sessions to allow personalized guidance suitable for a range of abilities and to emphasize slow, restorative work that strengthens joints, ligaments and the respiratory system.

What the day feels like

What the hour feels like

An hour-long sequence of guided Qigong and Taoist Yoga that moves between gentle movement, breathing exercises and seated or supine mindfulness. The flow is restorative rather than athletic: the aim is to calm the nervous system, reduce both mental and physical stress, and leave participants feeling more vital and grounded.
