Qigong means exercise with energy (Qi). It is an ancient holistic Chinese therapy, great for healing and also an advanced preventative natural medicine.
It is the foundation to Tai Chi, but relatively simpler than Tai Chi.
We use our consciousness to gather the universal energy (Qi) to nourish our body, mind and spirit and increase our energy.
The gentle flowing meditative movement and secret sounds improve our health, pelvic floor muscles, core, spine, flexibility, posture, immunity, organs, relaxation and inner joy.
Qigong can also release PMT, hay fever, stress and anxiety, heal back pain and lessen arthritis.
The class is broken up with Qigong theory and a short meditation.
Booking essential

Teacher Lu Zhengdao
At a young age, Lu had a serious illness, affecting his liver. Motivated by the need to improve his health and life, he chose a new path, to practise Zhineng Qigong – Wisdom Energy Cultivation.
After regaining health, becoming a healer and discovering the value of life, Lu has been teaching and has trained more than 46,000 people in more than 21 countries all over the world over the past 27 years. In 2000, Lu created Dao Qi Health Culture and teaches the safest and most effective way of healing, by working on “mind-nervous-endocrine-immune-system” networks. His teaching on Zhineng Qigong healing has greatly impressed students studying in China, Europe and Canada.
Lu strongly believes that “true self” is not a philosophy, nor a belief. Everyone is born with the true self, but most people’s true self has been inhibited. Only when living in one’s true self, can we live a true, harmonious and free life.
Teacher Ling Ming
Ling started to follow Grand Master Pang Ming, the founder of Zhineng Qigong, to learn qigong when she was 16. Over the last 28 years, she has healed and educated more than ten thousand people through Qigong practice.
Ling’s teaching is clear, relaxed and joyful, especially step-by-step guidance of her students to perceive the reality of body and mind. Students equally love the combination of lightness and depth that she brings.
Ling first met Lu, when she studied in the Teacher Academy in Huaxia Zhineng Qigong Centre, China in 1995, and Lu was her qigong theory teacher. Unlike Lu who came from a remote poor village, Ling grew up in Beijing, the capital of China; they both are deeply attracted by Zhineng Qigong and Ling married Lu in 1998. Together they dedicate their lives to share the powerful healing and life improving information of the New Culture for Humanity worldwide.
Zhineng Qigong and True Healing Stories
Qigong is an ancient Chinese holistic therapy. It is the foundation to taiji (taichi), but relatively simpler than taiji. Qigong includes dynamic and static forms. Zhineng Qigong emphasises moving meditation rather than static meditation. It uses the consciousness, body, breath, sound vibration and universal qi (energy) to bring about positive transformation of the body, mind and spirit.
“After practising Zhineng Qigong, my cancer disappeared. In the practice, I feel protected, joyful, safe, and more energy. Healing comes naturally when we get out of the way and go beyond our attachments. Our new life is starting Now!” ~ Luise Kohl-Hajek, Germany
“The gentle movements stretch every muscle in my body although they look very simple. My muscles feel stronger, and I am mentally stronger too. While practising, I feel the sense of “unity with the universe.””
~ Susan Sky, NZ
“Through regular qigong practice, my back pain is healed and my spine is more flexible. I had also been suffering severe shoulder pain for months. Just like a miracle, after one qigong class the pain had gone. The pain did come back a couple of days later, but much milder. After regular practice, I am pain free. This was a wow factor for me.
I LOVE the feeling of connecting to the Universal Qi, and would like to share qigong with others.
~ Graham Good, NZ
The Zhineng Qigong Healing Retreat:
The retreat is for qigong students/teachers and therapists to deepen their practice, and for novices to learn qigong, this energy healing and advanced preventative medicine.
Lu and Ling will guide you and help reveal your true self through their teaching of qigong theory and practice. They’ll help you enjoy a more relaxed, healthy, free and joyful life.
Note: the true self is known as our divine nature, or our inner supreme self …
