What is Qigong?
Qigong (pronounced “chee-gong”) is an ancient Chinese practice rooted in Chinese Medicine.
Through gentle movement, breath, awareness and meditation, Qigong supports the flow and balance of energy within the body.
Many people are familiar with tai chi, which is a form of Qigong. While tai chi often involves learning structured sequences, Qigong can be simpler to begin. The movements can be adapted to meet your body as it is, without pressure to perform or get them exactly right.
In my classes, Qigong is an invitation to step out of the busyness of life, reconnect with your body and listen more deeply to yourself.
Claire’s Qigong class is part of my self care routine.
I feel so much at ease and in flow after each class.
It gets my energy up and releases tension in different parts of my body.
Claire always tailors each session to our collective needs and wraps up each session with meditation.
It helps reset my nervous system after a busy week. So grateful and highly recommend!

What to expect in a class
You don’t need experience, flexibility or any particular level of fitness. Each class is gently guided, and the movements can be adapted to meet your body where it is.
We move through simple Qigong sequences, including Ba Duan Jin (Eight Pieces of Brocade), with each class shaped around the season and the needs of the group that day.
You’ll be invited to:
-
soften your breath
-
release unnecessary effort
-
notice where your body may be holding
-
allow the movement to flow through you
There is no pressure to keep up or get it right.
Your body is already intelligent—
this is a space to listen to it.
People often leave feeling calmer, more grounded and more connected to themselves. With regular practice, you may also notice greater body awareness, easier movement and a deeper sense of inner steadiness.

Private sessions offer individual guidance, with the practice shaped around your body, energy and intentions.
They may suit you if you:
-
are new to Qigong and would like individual support
-
need movements adapted for mobility, injury or recovery
-
want to deepen or refine your existing practice
-
would feel more comfortable beginning privately
Each session may include movement, breath, meditation or stillness, depending on what you need that day.
Private sessions are available in Freshwater or online, with home visits available across the Northern Beaches and Lower North Shore by arrangement.

I would highly recommend Claire as a teacher of Qigong.
My Dr recommended I take it up post surgery and I decided on private lessons at home to begin with as I needed something specifically tailored to my needs.
Claire is an outstanding teacher - knowledgeable, wise and compassionate. I look forward to continuing working with her.
Justine Williams,
What others have experienced
So grateful to Claire for bringing Qigong to the Northern Beaches.
As a beginner, I was a little apprehensive at my first session but that was quickly overcome.
Claire’s beautiful demeanor and method of teaching is so relaxed and meaningful that it is a pleasure to practice Qigong with Claire.
I’m now hooked and love the differences I have seen in my body, emotions and breathing. Thank you Claire 🩷
Cathy, Freshwater
Have loved learning Qigong online with Claire. She is welcoming and knowledgeable, effortlessly enriching every movement with understanding of how it helps our organs and emotions flow better.
I also appreciate how she always asks if any part of my body needs special attention and works something targeted into our practice to help.

A practice you can return to
Qigong is not something you need to master.
It is a practice you return to—meeting your body, energy and life as they are that day.
Some people come for calm.
Some for connection.
Some simply for space to pause and breathe.
Whatever brings you here, you are welcome.
