Qi Gong in Long Ditton (KT6): A Complete Local Guide
If you live in Long Ditton, Surbiton, Thames Ditton, or Kingston upon Thames and you’ve been searching for a way to improve your health, reduce stress, and feel more energised, Qi Gong could be the answer.
At the Awaken the Energy Within Workshop, we teach Korean-style Qi Gong. This approach is often considered easier for beginners because the movements are simple, flowing, and highly accessible. Yet it’s also deeply rewarding for those who already have Qi Gong experience, offering advanced students new ways to explore energy and deepen practice.
What Makes Korean-Style Qi Gong Special?
Easier to learn: Unlike some complex Qi Gong systems, the Korean style focuses on natural body flow. You’ll feel comfortable from day one.
Beginner friendly: Many people at our workshops try Qi Gong for the first time and quickly feel the benefits.
Advanced depth: If you’ve already practised Qi Gong or Tai Chi, this style adds fresh techniques and a new energy perspective.
As one participant, Christine Weston, shared:
“The workshop on Sunday was really good, really enjoyed it. I was amazed at how relaxed and calm I felt. After the whole session finished, I felt so empty, as if a weight had been lifted off me. Completely looking forward to the next workshop.”

Janet Atkins described her experience:
“Peter's workshop was excellent. I especially liked the fact Peter explained everything and engaged everyone in all the activities. The Qi Gong was amazing and made me aware of areas of my body that were tight. The sound healing and opening of the chakras was amazing. Three hours passed by so quickly, too. I felt refreshed afterwards and slept so well that night.”

Qi Gong is for everyone. Whether you’re completely new or have years of practice, you’ll find value in this Korean style.
Carol Hardy, who came in as a complete beginner, reflected:
“Although I had never even heard of Qi Gong before, I was curious to give it a try. I can’t pinpoint why I like it, but it is different from my other forms of exercise. I feel very relaxed afterwards. It helps me sleep better and keep perspective.”
And for those with experience, Nicola Rotheroe shared:
“The opening introduction was an easy-to-understand view of Qi Gong, followed with Peter's clear, concise instruction to the energy-building routines. A chance to experience the sound healing was a very relaxing close to the session, and the stillness continued to the next day. The afternoon was a pleasant and fun way to meet like-minded people.”
