What is Qigong?


Qigong is an ancient wellness practice that balances the natural energy of the body through controlled movement and breath. 

Imagine if you had a daily practice that needed no special equipment, that could be practised anywhere and made you feel balanced and energised for the day.. everyday?

Well that is exactly what Qigong can do.

~ The Benefits ~


Each exercise has a different medical application to increase your health by stimulating the natural body responses to balance and repair itself.

 In fact there has been a 30 year study that verifies Qigong to have a positive effect on stress, sleep and a range of long life benefits such as arthritis, heart disease and hypertension.

So the sooner we start taking care of ourselves the better really.

~Sharing Qigong to a new generation~

I was looking for a daily health practice that I could do anywhere and continue into my old age.

Qigong is a prefect fit as its slow and deliberate movements allow for the body and mind to balance in a peaceful and healing way.

I love that every day Qigong unlocks a new experience. I am passionate about sharing the health benefits of Qigong with you and so Bothy Qigong was born.

What others have to say


"The techniques taught were perfect which I can keep doing in my own practice."

Dean, Australia ~

"Douglas has a really good teaching tone. I could feel self-conscious doing Qi Gong since I had hardly done it before, however he held the space really well and made me feel comfortable."

Ruth, New Zealand ~

The Observer

Far too often our mind is overwhelmed with thoughts. Qigong is a form of mindful movement that over time allows you to be more present and at ease.


Natural Medicine

We get pulled in all directions in life. Qigong's breath and movements stimulate the body to relax, repair and balance the body.
