Meet Your Qi Gong Instructor
Classes are taught by Peter Paul Parker, founder of Bright Beings Academy, qualified Qi Gong instructor, Dahn Master and international Qi Gong champion.
Peter has spent years teaching Korean-style Qi Gong to beginners, older adults, highly sensitive people and those looking for a gentler approach to movement and wellbeing.
His teaching combines traditional energy practices with calm, accessible guidance that helps people feel safe, supported and encouraged from the very beginning.
In 2016, Peter travelled to South Korea to compete in the Kookhak Qi Gong International Championships, where he became a Qi Gong champion. Alongside teaching classes and workshops across the local community, he also supports people through breath work, sound healing and embodied wellbeing practices.
Whether you are completely new to Qi Gong or returning after time away, classes are designed to feel welcoming, grounding and beginner-friendly.

"Qi Gong in New Malden is not about performance or perfection. It is about helping people reconnect with movement, breath, balance and calm in a supportive local environment."
What Happens During A Typical Class?
If you are new to Qi Gong, it is completely natural to wonder what happens during a class. Many people arrive for the first time feeling curious, and often discover that the practice is far more accessible and enjoyable than they expected.
Our Monday lunchtime classes are designed to help you release tension, improve mobility, calm the mind and reconnect with your natural energy through gentle movement and breathing.
Gentle Warm-Up Exercises
We begin with simple movements that help loosen the joints, improve circulation and prepare the body for practice. These exercises are suitable for beginners and can be adapted to different levels of mobility.
Breathing And Energy Awareness
You will learn easy-to-follow breathing exercises and energy-building practices that help quieten the mind, improve focus and encourage a greater sense of calm and wellbeing.
Korean-Style Qi Gong Practice
The main part of the class focuses on guided Qi Gong movements that help improve balance, flexibility, posture and overall body awareness. Every exercise is demonstrated clearly and explained step-by-step, making it easy to follow regardless of experience.
Relaxation And Mindfulness
Towards the end of the session, we slow things down and allow the body and mind to settle. This helps many students leave feeling refreshed, centred and ready for the week ahead.
A Welcoming Community
One of the things students value most is the supportive atmosphere within the class. There is no competition, pressure or expectation to perform. Everyone is encouraged to work at their own pace and enjoy the practice in a way that feels right for them.
Many students tell us they leave feeling lighter, calmer and more energised than when they arrived.

A few months from now, this could be your story too.
I started practicing Qi Gong with Peter as part of a series of taster sessions in summer 2025 at the Graham Spicer Centre in New Malden. I didn't know what to expect, and it was something which was outside my comfort zone, but I thought I would give it a try. I have now been attending regular weekly classes in New Malden for 9 months and have really felt the benefits they bring. Being on Monday lunchtimes, I find the classes set me up for the week ahead. The gentle movements help with flexibility, co-ordination, balance and strength, as well as focusing and calming the mind. It has made me feel more grounded, better equipped to tackle life's challenges and generally improved my all-round sense of well-being. As an instructor Peter's expertise, positivity and encouragement make the classes a pleasure to attend, and I'd highly recommend anyone to try his classes for themselves.
I have been attending Peter's Qi Gong classes in New Malden at the Graham Spicer Institute for several months and really enjoy them. Peter is a great teacher - knowledgeable, motivating and supportive. He gives clear instructions and makes the classes fun. Qi Gong improves physical and mental wellbeing. It is suitable for all ages and abilities. It helps me to focus my energy on what's really important and to practise gratitude. I would recommend to classes to anyone, whether you want to improve your fitness, learn to relax or just meet some lovely, friendly people.
Since joining Peter’s Qi Gong classes in New Malden, I feel like I have my life back again. I no longer feel as isolated, I have become far more active and I have now lost over two stone in weight. The classes are gentle, welcoming and suitable for beginners, but they have made a huge difference to both my physical and emotional wellbeing. I feel happier, healthier and like I am getting my zest for life back.

What Previous Students Have Said
"Since joining Peter's qi gong classes it has definitely helped me with focusing on mental clarity and breathing exercises making the every day life flow easier. This has led to improved joint flexibility, strength and stamina over a period of time attending a weekly physical class and the opportunity of online sessions available to keep up the continuity."
Nicola Rotheroe
"I have been taking part in Peter’s classes for a few months now. I have found them to be easy to follow, informative throughout of what we are doing and why, which I find helps with motivation and believe it is helping in my overall well-being. I would highly recommend them."
Lisa Tawfiq
"When I joined Peter's class a few months ago, I didn't really know what Qi Gong was. I was just looking for a replacement for a fitness class that I'd had to give up; Well, lucky me!... I'm learning that the classes are about so much more than just 'physical' fitness. Since attending, I just seem to be more focused, calm and on top of things."
