What Happens During A Typical Class?
What Happens During a Typical Qi Gong Class?
If you have never tried Qi Gong before, you might be wondering what happens during a class and whether you will be able to follow along.
Our friendly Monday lunchtime classes in New Malden offer a balanced combination of energising movement, breathing exercises and calming relaxation. Each session follows a natural progression, helping you move from everyday tension towards greater body awareness and a quieter mind.
Energising Warm-Up and Energy Circulation
We begin with slightly more dynamic movements, including gentle tapping, joint rotations and traditional Korean-style energy circulation exercises.
These movements help warm up the body, encourage comfortable movement through the joints and prepare you for the slower practices that follow.
Many students enjoy this more active beginning because it helps them feel engaged and ready to settle into the rest of the class.
Breathing and Energy Awareness
As the class progresses, we introduce simple breathing techniques and exercises that encourage you to become more aware of your body and natural energy.
These practices invite you to release unnecessary tension, develop concentration and become more present in the moment.
Flowing Korean-Style Qi Gong Movements
The main part of the session includes guided Qi Gong sequences that combine movement, breathing and awareness.
These flowing exercises offer opportunities to develop balance, coordination, flexibility and posture while moving comfortably within your own abilities.
Every movement is clearly demonstrated, with guidance and adaptations available for beginners and more experienced students.
Slowing Down and Deep Relaxation
Towards the end of the class, the pace gradually slows.
We move into quieter exercises, relaxation and moments of stillness, allowing the body and mind time to settle after the earlier movement.
Many students particularly enjoy this transition, finding that the more energising beginning helps them appreciate the calmness of the final part of the session.
A Friendly and Supportive Local Community
Just as importantly, our New Malden Qi Gong classes offer an opportunity to meet friendly people and enjoy practising together.
There is no competition, pressure or expectation to perform. You are encouraged to work at your own pace, take breaks when needed and enjoy the experience in a way that feels comfortable.
Whether you are attending for the first time or returning for your weekly practice, you will be warmly welcomed.
