Getting there by train

New Malden Station is a short walk from the venue. Exit the station and follow signs towards the High Street and Dukes Avenue. Use the map link above for turn-by-turn directions on your phone. Allow a few minutes to stroll and arrive settled. If you prefer extra certainty, do a quick practice run earlier in the week.

Getting there by bus

Local buses serve New Malden High Street. Alight near the High Street and follow the short walk to Dukes Avenue. Use the map link for live directions from your stop. If you have mobility considerations, plan an extra five minutes so you can take your time.

Driving and parking

There is on-street parking around the venue. Always check local signs for time limits and permit hours. If space is busy close to start time, try the surrounding streets and walk in. Keep valuables out of sight and allow a few extra minutes to park kindly and avoid rushing.

What to bring and wear

Loose, comfortable clothing you can move in. A light layer for relaxation. A bottle of water. No mat is required. If you’re unsure about shoes, soft trainers are perfect. Leave heavy bags at home if you can.

First-visit timing (and why it matters)

Arriving for 11:50 gives you space to breathe, meet the room, and feel at ease. I’ll answer any quick questions and show you the simple movements we’ll use. When you’re not rushed, your nervous system is calmer—and your class feels better.

If you feel anxious about your first class

Totally normal. Many people arrive with a mix of curiosity and nerves. The group is warm and welcoming. Movements are simple and adaptable. You can pause at any time, or sit for part—or all—of the session. For extra reassurance, see our safety notes: https://brightbeingsacademy.com/qi-gong-safety-blood-pressure-joints-new-malden
