Move with the wisdom of your body

There comes a time when we stop asking our bodies to keep up with our lives and begin listening to what they have been trying to tell us all along.

That is what Qigong has become for me.

Not another exercise program.

Not another thing to achieve.

A gentle practice that helps us reconnect with the wisdom already within us.

Whether you are looking for more energy, recovering from illness, managing stress, or simply longing for greater peace, Qigong offers a quiet path back to yourself.

There are many traditions of Qigong, each with its own history and emphasis. The practice I teach is Spring Forest Qigong, founded by Grand Master Chunyi Lin. It belongs to the tradition of Medical Qigong and uses gentle movement, breathing, awareness and meditation to support the body’s natural capacity for balance and wellbeing.

Qigong has brought more balance, peace and joy into my life.

If this practice speaks to you, I’d be delighted to share it with you.

Could this be the practice you are looking for?

If you’re looking for a gentle practice that helps you reconnect with your body, quiet the mind and bring more balance into your life, it just might be.

Perhaps you’re looking for a practice where:

  • You can move at your own pace, without pressure or competition.
  • Just a few minutes each day can help you feel more centred and present.
  • The movements can be practised standing, sitting or lying down.
  • Every movement can be adapted to your body’s unique needs.
  • There is no “perfect” way to do it—only your way.
  • You don’t need flexibility, strength or previous experience.
  • You can practise almost anywhere, making it easy to become part of daily life.
  • You are guided with care, encouragement and respect for where you are today.

If these words resonate with you, I would be delighted to welcome you.

Here is what participants say

“Keep doing what you’re doing. You are making an amazing impact on those of us who participate in your class—and beyond!”

The Path That Brought Me Here

There are times in life when we sense that something is changing within us, even if we can’t yet name it.

After losing my sister to breast cancer in 2012 and my father in 2014, I found myself entering a quieter, more reflective season of life. It was during that time that Qigong entered my life.

One day, the word Qigong quietly came into my awareness.

Having lived in Asia, I knew what it was, but I had no idea where to find it in Canada. A few conversations with friends led me to a Spring Forest Qigong class.

Within the first half hour, I knew I had found something special.

Before long, I began training as an instructor.

What drew me to Spring Forest Qigong was its simplicity. The movements are gentle, adaptable and accessible to people of all ages and abilities. More importantly, they invited me to slow down and begin listening to the wisdom of my own body.

With just fifteen minutes of practice each morning, I began to notice subtle but profound changes. My body felt stronger, my energy increased, and I met life’s challenges with greater calm.

As the years passed, my understanding deepened.

I came to realize that my role wasn’t to heal anyone. The body has an extraordinary capacity for balance and renewal. My role is simply to guide the practice, creating the space where people can reconnect with the wisdom already within them.

That understanding continues to shape the way I share Qigong with others.

It also changed the way I live.

Today, I remain deeply grateful to the teachers who guided me. They gave me a strong foundation. Yet over the years, the greatest teacher became the practice itself. It taught me to listen—not only to others, but to the quiet wisdom within my own body.

FAQ

What kind of Qigong do you teach?

There are many beautiful traditions of Qigong, each with its own history and emphasis. The practice I teach is Spring Forest Qigong, created by Grand Master Chunyi Lin.

What drew me to this form of Qigong was its simplicity. The movements are gentle, easy to learn and accessible to people of all ages and abilities. Through movement, breath, awareness and meditation, we learn to work with the body’s natural energy and support its ability to find greater balance and wellbeing.


Do I need to be fit or flexible?

Not at all.

One of the things I love most about Qigong is that it meets you where you are. The movements are slow, gentle and easily adapted to your comfort and range of motion.

There is no need to be flexible or athletic. Whether you are active, recovering from an illness, or simply looking for a gentle way to care for yourself, you can practise Qigong at your own pace.


What is Qigong?

Qigong (pronounced chee-gong) is an ancient Chinese practice that has supported health and wellbeing for thousands of years.

The word Qi refers to the body’s vital energy, while Gong means practice or cultivation.

Using gentle movements, breathing, meditation and focused awareness, Qigong helps us reconnect with the natural flow of energy within the body. Over time, many people notice improvements in their energy, balance, resilience and overall sense of wellbeing.

For me, Qigong is much more than a series of movements. It is a gentle way of listening to the wisdom of the body.


I’ve never been able to meditate because my mind is too busy. Can I still join?

Absolutely.

Many people feel exactly the same way when they begin.

Qigong is often described as a moving meditation. Rather than trying to stop your thoughts, you simply bring your attention to your breath and your movements. As your body begins to relax, the mind often follows.

Our seated meditations are gentle and guided. There is nothing you need to achieve. With time and practice, many people discover a sense of calm they didn’t expect.


What if I have physical challenges?

Qigong is wonderfully adaptable.

The movements can be practised standing, sitting or, in some cases, lying down. If you have physical limitations or health concerns, I will help you find adaptations that work comfortably for your body.

My goal is for everyone to feel included, supported and able to enjoy the practice.


What should I wear?

Wear comfortable clothing that allows you to move easily.

You may also like to have a glass of water nearby and a straight-backed chair for the meditation or if you prefer to sit during the movements.


When do the live sessions take place?

We meet live online every Monday at 2:00 p.m. Mountain Time.

Each session lasts about one hour and includes gentle movement, breathing and meditation.


What if I can’t attend a live session?

No problem.

A recording of each session is usually available within 24 hours in the members’ area and on the private Facebook group (unless technical issues arise), so you can practise whenever it best fits your schedule.

Is Qigong right for me?

If you’re looking for a gentle practice that helps you slow down, reconnect with your body and bring more balance into your life, then it may be.

You don’t need experience, special clothing or a certain level of fitness. All you need is a willingness to begin where you are.

As we often say in class, there is no perfect way to practise Qigong. There is simply your practice, one breath and one movement at a time.
