Breathe. Move. Reset.

Begin your BEYOND weekend with 45 minutes of gentle, mindful movement in the calm surroundings of the Sanctuary Zone.

Join Lili from the Qigong & Tai Chi Centre Milton Keynes for an accessible introduction to Qigong — an ancient Chinese movement practice that brings together movement, breath and focused attention.

Designed especially for beginners, Lili will guide you through a flowing sequence of simple Qigong movements, helping you slow things down, reconnect with your body and discover a different way to move.

There is no need to have tried Qigong before and you do not need to be particularly flexible or fit. Simply come as you are and experience how combining gentle movement with conscious breathing can leave both body and mind feeling calmer and more settled.

Why try Qigong?

• Calm a busy mind — combining breath, movement and concentration can encourage relaxation and help reduce feelings of stress.
• Improve coordination and body awareness — bringing the mind, body and breath together through flowing movements.
• Encourage mobility and flexibility — gently moving the shoulders, spine, hips and legs through comfortable ranges of movement.
• Release everyday tension — particularly around the neck and shoulders.
• Build gentle strength — working through the core, legs and shoulders without high-impact movement.
• Support relaxation and sleep — helping the body and mind shift towards a more restful state.

This is not about getting every movement right. It is about slowing down, moving with intention and noticing how your body feels.

• Duration: 45 minutes.
