Mobility, Mood, Confidence: Stories from New Malden Learners

Small, gentle steps can change a week. These are real voices from our New Malden Qi Gong class — people who chose a calm path and discovered steady progress in balance, mood and confidence.

We meet Mondays 12–1 pm (£10) at the Graham Spicer Institute, KT3 4HL. Beginners and seniors welcome. Reserve your place: https://brightbeingsacademy.com/new-malden-qi-gong-mondays

Balance and co-ordination: feeling steadier on your feet

“Great awareness of my co-ordination. Enjoy sessions.” — Lynda
“Very enjoyable – helps with co-ordination.” — Carol
“Given me great co-ordination and calm. I can now lift up a boulder and shout ‘huh’ without self-consciousness.” — Mary

Balance grows through slow weight shifts, simple patterns and relaxed focus. If falls are on your mind, start with this guide and come along gently: https://brightbeingsacademy.com/falls-prevention-kt3-qi-gong-balance

Calm, breath and better sleep

“Even after one session, I felt lighter and freer… It is very calming and I really like the breathing techniques.” — Myra
“Have come on really well health-wise and also mentally. I feel really energised and happy after each class.” — Christine
“I feel lighter and de-stressed. I am sleeping better.” — Janis

Breathing steadies the nervous system, which helps sleep and mood. Try a simple reset now, then notice the difference in class: https://brightbeingsacademy.com/new-malden-lunchtime-stress-reset-breathing

Energy and positivity

“Energetic and more positive, thank you.” — Ruma
“I always feel loosened-up, more relaxed and more positive after the session.” — Joe
“It totally wakes my body up… more conscious of energy throughout my body.” — Mei

Gentle movement wakes the body without draining it. If you’re easing back from aches or stiffness, these seated options help you start safely: https://brightbeingsacademy.com/seated-qi-gong-new-malden-chair-exercise

What changed after 4 weeks?

Little-and-often wins stack up fast. Most newcomers notice three shifts in the first month: steadier feet (you feel safer turning and reaching), easier shoulders and hips (less morning stiffness), and a calmer baseline during the day. Confidence grows because you’re moving without strain—and the group helps you show up.

More local voices:
“Only my second class but I feel relaxed and energised afterwards.” — Jan
“I’m focusing on breathing and balance; the meditation at the end is healing in body and mind.” — Sue
“Energetic and more positive—thank you.” — Ruma

Grief, resilience and community

“I lost my husband last October and my mother in December. This class has helped me to move on with my life. Thank you.” — Lydie

A calm hour in good company can be deeply restorative. When motivation dips, community holds you up. Read why local groups make change stick: https://brightbeingsacademy.com/community-calm-local-class-new-malden
