QIGONG

Qigong is a healing system of movements, postures, breathing and meditations deriving from traditional Chinese medicine. Its purpose is to cultivate the flow of “qi” thereby promoting health and well-being. Qi is a concept that means vital energy, breath or spirit. Qigong assists in cultivating and balancing qi or life force and assists in harnessing one’s internal energy. It is helpful in reducing stress, building stamina, improving circulation and enhancing immune functions. It can be done in groups.

SHIATSU

Shiatsu is a form of therapeutic bodywork from Japan. It is a non-invasive therapy that reduces stress and contributes to overall well-being by having preventative and remedial effects. It uses kneading, pressing, soothing, tapping and stretching techniques and is performed without oils through light, comfortable clothing. It includes the use of acupressure and meridian therapies to bring balance to the body and mind and is done one-on-one.

PILATES

Pilates is a low-impact exercise method that strengthens and stabilises the body while improving flexibility and posture. It focuses on controlled movements, breathwork, and core engagement to enhance overall physical health and prevent injuries. Pilates promotes better alignment, increases mobility, and reduces tension, making it beneficial for both rehabilitation and general fitness. Sessions are tailored to individual needs and can be done using specialised equipment or on a mat, offering a mindful, full-body workout that supports long-term wellness.
