Module 1: Cultivate a Healthy Inner State
An 8-Week Journey
Starting again in Term 1, 2027
IN-PERSON | Wednesdays | 5:15 – 6:45 pm
Is it time to go inwards? In a world where we so often look for solutions outside of ourselves, when do we pause to look within? This is an invitation to do exactly that and allow meaningful change to arise from within.
Join us and feel the difference!
A relaxed, calm and natural inner state is at the heart of a healthy life. This introductory 8 week journey supports the development of this state in a nourishing environment, while also building self-awareness in daily life, deepening understanding of Qi, and learning and practising Tian Yuan, the first method of Yuan Qigong.
Wednesday evenings
5:15 – 6:45 pm

Feel the difference in your life as you practise Yuan Qigong consistently over 8 weeks. Yuan Qigong is a tool specifically designed to re-energise you at a very fundamental level, while gently allowing a natural sense of calm and clarity to return.
From this relaxed and deeply calm state—our natural way of being in life—you may begin to experience not only a sense of ease and lightness, but also a genuine sense of joy.
A powerful, yet gentle form of Qigong rooted in ancient wisdom and modern science, Yuan Qigong works with the body, energy, heart and consciousness to restore balance and well-being and ulpift life as a whole. During the 8 Week programme, we will practice simple and gentle exercises that are suitable for all ages and body types.
For anyone who wants to feel better — even if you’ve never heard of Ren Xue & Yuan Qigong. All ages, abilities, and body types are warmly welcome.
No matter who we are, at the most fundamental level we all face the same challenges in life. Real change is possible — and necessary — for everyone, regardless of how we look, what we’ve been through, or what we’ve achieved.
This supportive holistic programme includes the following:
- 8 in-person sessions with 2 facilitators
- Access to a dedicated online student space with additional resources to support and deepen your understanding.
- Weekly audios and videos to support your practice
- WhatsApp group for connection and inspiration between classes or mutual encouragement.
Sliding Scale:
-
$120 + $20* – for those who need a more accessible option.
-
$160 + $20* – standard contribution.
-
$200 + $20* – for those who would like to support our work more fully.

Ren Yuan: Deepen Your Practice
You have learned the movements. Now, how do you practise them in a way that truly changes how you feel?
This one-day workshop is for those who already know the Ren Yuan form and want to take it further. We spend the day in two parts.
Morning: refining the form
Accuracy is important, because it allows Qi to flow through the body in the most effective and harmonious way. In the morning, we work on form adjustments across the Ren Yuan sections.
Afternoon: Xin Fa and the state
In the afternoon, the focus shifts to Xin Fa and a deeper exploration of the state. Once the movements are familiar, we let go of holding on to the “correct movement” and enjoy the state of Qi being within you, and you being within Qi.
Most of us spend a lot of effort getting the movements right. The invitation of this day is to find out what becomes possible when the body knows the form and you are free to experience the state.
Our intention is for you to leave with a sound form, and a felt experience of the state to take into your daily practice.
Ren Yuan is the third method in the Yuan Qigong system. It consists of 18 graceful and flowing movements designed to activate Qi movement throughout the body, open the channels, and improve the circulation of Qi and blood.
Ren Yuan is an exquisite balance of grace and strength, movement and stillness. Through consistent practice, it helps improve flexibility, balance, coordination, vitality, and overall wellbeing while calming the mind and supporting emotional balance.
Ren Yuan also offers a comprehensive workout for the whole body. The movements gently yet effectively work the muscles, tendons, sinews, bones, joints, and skin, helping to build strength, suppleness, stability, and resilience. By combining stretching, twisting, opening, and coordinated movement, Ren Yuan allows Qi to move at a deeper level throughout the body.
This workshop is for practitioners that have already learnt Ren Yuan and who want to take their practice and eperience to a deeper level.

Nourish Your Life. These classes will support you in deepening your inner state and nourishing your life at a profound level through Yuan Qigong practices. It is an invitation not only to nourish your Qi, but also to deepen your trust in your inner resources.
Join us and feel the difference!
These weekly classes will include the practice of Method 1 (Tian Yuan) and Method 2 (Di Yuan), while placing a greater emphasis on two key areas: deepening our practice through guidance, shared experiences, and practical insights; and fostering a genuine sense of connection, belonging, and mutual support within the group.
We will also continue to cultivate the heart, explore disturbances that affect our inner state and deepen our understanding of life through key Ren Xue theories.
Together, these elements create a supportive, harmonious, and uplifting Qifield that nurtures both our individual and collective growth.
