Feel calmer, lighter and more connected with Elemental Qigong.
Gentle movement and meditation to release tension, relax and find balance.
Are you carrying tension in your body, feeling mentally busy or longing for a little more space to simply be?
Elemental Qi gong offers a gentle way to slow down, tune into your body and nurture your wellbeing.
Join Fay for a welcoming weekly class where mindful movement, meditation and the wisdom of the natural elements come together to help you feel more grounded, relaxed and alive.
What is Qigong?
Think of it as meditation in motion.
Pronounced chee-gong, Qigong is an ancient Chinese practice that combines gentle movement, mindful breathing, relaxed postures that are seated or standing and focused attention.
Rather than pushing your body or striving to achieve a particular result, Qigong is simple and slow, giving you the opportunity to notice how you feel and move with greater awareness.
It’s an opportunity to give yourself time to breathe, soften and reconnect.
You don’t need to be fit, flexible or experienced in meditation. The movements are gentle, and there is no routine to memorise.
I have found that Qi Gong is a deep experience that helps better manage my energy and increase my vitality while also making me feel a sense of connection and awe!
How might Qigong help you?
With regular practice, Qigong may help you:
- Release everyday tension and feel more relaxed.
- Develop greater awareness of your body and how you move.
- Cultivate a sense of calm and balance.
- Make space for stillness in a busy life.
- Feel more connected to yourself and the natural world.
- Increase energy flow and experience more vitality
Everyone’s experience is different. The invitation is to come, explore and discover what the practice offers you.
Discover the magic of Elemental Qigong
Reconnect with the cycles of nature — and your own natural rhythm.
My Elemental Qigong classes weave gentle movement and meditation together with an exploration of the Five elements of Traditional Chinese Medicine and the changing seasons.
As we practise, I invite you to become curious about the energy within and around you. Through simple movements, visualisation and quiet moments of awareness, you can begin to experience a different relationship with your body, your energy and the flow of the seasons.
Each six-week block explores the energy of the season, giving you space to slow down, deepen your practice and discover something new.
My approach is also informed by more than 20 years of experience in Reiki energy healing, alongside my work with shamanic practices.
I aim to create a calm, supportive space where you can let go of expectations, explore at your own pace and reconnect with the part of you that feels grounded, vibrant and fully alive.
This isn’t about getting the movements perfect. It’s about giving yourself space to play and experience.
Regular practice can help with the following:
- decrease stress
- assist joint mobility and balance
- experience stillness
- become more aware of energy
- increase your immunity
- feel grounded and supported
- improve your sleep
- feel more playful
- build up a store of abundant Qi
What happens in a Qigong class?
You don’t need to know anything about Qigong before you arrive. I’ll guide you through the practice step by step.
A typical class may include:
- Arriving and settling: Take a breath, leave the busyness of the day behind and bring your attention to yourself and your body.
- Gentle movements: Explore simple movements and joint openers to help your body feel more relaxed and mobile.
- Standing or seated practice: Learn postures that encourage awareness, balance and a sense of connection with the Earth, the cosmos and the elements.
- Mindful awareness and visualisation: Discover ways to focus your attention, notice your energy and experience moments of stillness.
- Time to simply be: Allow yourself to absorb the experience without needing to achieve anything.
Classes are mostly practised standing, with seated options available. Occasionally, we may work on the floor, when a mat can be helpful.
Wear loose, comfortable clothing. No special equipment or previous experience is needed.
I definitely felt an energy shift. After I felt lighter and even still today I feel good. I feel open and…dare I say it, happy!?
Meet Fay — your guide to Elemental Qigong
I’m Fay Johnstone, and my work brings together Qigong, Reiki energy healing and a deep connection with the natural world.
My journey with Reiki began in 2000, and over the years I’ve explored ways of helping people reconnect with themselves, develop their own awareness and find greater connection with the world around them.
I bring this experience into my Qigong teaching, creating a welcoming space where you can slow down, explore mindful movement and discover practices to support your own wellbeing.
You don’t need to share my spiritual beliefs or have any previous experience. You’re welcome to come exactly as you are.
I’d love to introduce you to Elemental Qigong and help you discover how this gentle practice might become a nourishing part of your life.
Want to give Qigong a try?
For a short introduction to the practice of Elemental Qigong, play the video and follow along. You will learn about the basic standing posture and experience several joint openers to help tension unwind.
Enjoy!
Give yourself an hour to reconnect
Imagine taking a little time out of your week to move gently, breathe more deeply and give yourself permission to slow down and simply BE.
You don’t need to be flexible, fit or experienced. You don’t need to get anything right. Just come as you are and let yourself explore.
I’d love to welcome you to Elemental Qigong.
