UK Qigong Classes Directory
This directory has been created to help people find Qigong classes across the UK and to support teachers offering sessions in their local communities. Each class listed here is run independently by its own teacher, with individual training backgrounds and teaching styles. The directory is intended as a simple way to connect people with teachers. If you are interested in a class, please get in touch with the teacher directly to learn more and determine whether it is a good fit for you.
​
If you run a Qigong class in the UK and would like to be included in the directory, please get in touch.
I would be delighted to add your class so people can find and contact you directly.
