TESTIMONIALS
“Having experienced Qigong with Michele in large groups, duets and now zoom it is extraordinary that each session feels really personal to me. Michele’s talent in teaching always caters for the individual needs. I feel huge mental and physical benefits from each session and always have a good night’s sleep. I owe Michele so much for the introduction to Qigong.” – Moira
“I always feel so mellow after a class with Michele. Highly recommend.”– Jane
“I have attended Michele’s classes for the past few years - either online or in person both indoors and outdoors. I have gained so much personally from Chi Kung which is due to Michele’s attention to detail, making sure we do the exercises properly and that we are aware of the philosophy behind the exercises. She is a very patient teacher.”

About QIGONG
Qigong promotes health & balance through movements & breath.
Qigong comprises of mindfulness with slow exercises, incorporating the breath, to mobilise the body and joints as well as holding static postures, improving posture with balance literally & figuratively. The spelling Qigong is the Chinese translation. It is also spelt Chi Kung which is a Latin based translation from the Chinese.
As a Chinese meditation it promotes the flow of Qi through the body. Qi is thought to be the vital energy of the body and through Qigong can help establish harmony both physically and psychologically.
Within Elemental Chi Kung (taught by Mickey aka Michèle) emphasis is placed on the five elements, being in rhythm with the seasons, incorporating the ideas of yin & yang, as found within Chinese medicine. The philosophy is based on Daoism.
Qigong can benefit everyone. It has benefits such as stress reduction, helping to rebalance the autonomic nervous system & the stress response commonly known as the “fight, flight, freeze response” (a complex system that can be helped by the wisdom of the body.) Qigong helps a balanced posture, (thereby assisting pain), breathing re-education (Mickeyhas found that it has recently benefited those with long covid) and can assist those that train in martial arts.
Qigong water & fire forms
Mickey has an instinctual knowledge to assist healing & teaches Qigong in a very intuitive way. No two classes are the same, and within a session Mickey aka Michèle may alter exercises according to the class in front of her or the energy of the space.
Qigong can occasionally be done on the floor (if able), this is one of the holds in a series of Opening Exercises
Mickey trained at the College of Elemental Chi Kung in London, completing her teacher training in 2010 and advanced Internal Alchemy in 2015.
