Join our in-depth Chi Kung training to deepen into your own Chi Kung practice or learn to teach Chi Kung Classes. It’s a 8 months training with 8 weekends in person at a beautiful studio in Baron’s Court, London where we practice and train together.

The Conscious Movement Chi Kung (CMCK) training is led by Daniel Brierley founder and principal instructor of Conscious Movement Chi Kung.  The course is assisted by qualified Chi Kung instructor Natalia Miralles Huete. 

Introduction to Conscious Movement Chi Kung (Qigong)

Conscious Movement Chi Kung (CMCK) is the culmination of Daniel’s 20+ years of teaching chi kung. It is a practice that brings together a variety of different approaches to the art:

• Five element forms 

• Breathing techniques

• Healing sounds 

• Classic forms

All of which offer the students a broad understanding of what it means to practice Chi Kung. 

About Chi Kung (Qigong)

Chi Kung is above all a healing art, and primarily its purpose is to help guide us towards greater balance of mind, body and spirit. This is with the understanding that we are always being affected and pulled out of balance by our day-to-day experiences. Our body systems naturally try to guide us back to health, and through listening and understanding we can enhance and support this natural process. Cultivating better habits for ourselves in how we eat, sleep, work and play.  

Chi Kung is an ancient art for the modern day. In these challenging times, it is more important than ever to learn how to harmonise and work with our environment. Chi Kung is one of the ways that we can do this. Cultivating a deep understanding of the importance of our relationship to the natural world by embracing the Tao. Healing begins at home with every breath and every form we practice taking responsibility for our health and wellbeing radiating out from the centre sending a positive vibration through our cells and out into the world around us. Chi Kung is a mindfulness practice.
