Moving Meditation
A special one-hour monthly pop-up Qi Gong class, with Lime House Yoga teacher Fiona Lundie, involving a series of slow, simple, standing movements, coordinated with the breath. Takes place on the last Sunday of every month, 9:30-10:30am (break for August). Cost 1 credit or drop-in for £10.
Qi Gong (pronounced ‘chee-gong‘) is one of the oldest movement practices in the world, with a history stretching back more than 4,000 years. Rooted in traditional Chinese philosophy and medicine, it developed as a way of cultivating health, vitality and longevity through the harmonious relationship between movement, breath and awareness.
Over the centuries, Qi Gong has been practised for many different reasons — to support physical wellbeing, aid recovery from illness, improve martial arts training, and encourage meditation and spiritual development. Today, millions of people around the world continue to practise Qi Gong as a gentle yet powerful way to care for both body and mind.
Unlike many forms of exercise, the emphasis isn’t on exertion or performance. Instead, Qi Gong invites us to slow down, move with intention, and cultivate a greater sense of balance and ease in everyday life.
I have been loving your classes – your instructions are so clear and help me understand why we are doing certain movements and what is happening in the body. I feel that they are definitely helping me to build firmer foundations for the future, and I intend to keep on coming! – Jo
Qi Gong is gentle and accessible, but deeply effective. The movements are slow, flowing and repetitive, helping you find ease in the body and steadiness in the breath.
You’ll be guided throughout, so there’s no need to know anything beforehand. You can simply arrive, follow Fiona’s guidance through a series of slow, simple, standing movements, coordinated with the breath and move in a way that feels comfortable for you.
There’s no choreography to learn, no level to reach, and no previous experience needed — just a chance to move, breathe, and reset.
Unlike most of our classes, the practice takes place fully on your feet rather than on the floor. The pace is unhurried, with time to settle into each movement and notice how the body responds.
The class is open to everyone, including complete beginners. You can expect to leave feeling calmer, more open, and gently re-energised.
If the weather allows, we’ll open up the bi-fold doors and bring the garden into the space with us.
Apart from the summer classes (May-August) the Qi Gong classes are also available to join via livestream, if you’d prefer to practise from home.
Qi Gong is a traditional Chinese practice with roots going back thousands of years, combining gentle movement, breath, and awareness to support the natural flow of energy — or qi — through the body. Often described as a moving meditation, it works quietly but deeply, helping to restore balance, ease tension, and reconnect you to a steadier, more grounded sense of self.

Wonderful class, informative as well as fun. My quads tell me this morning that they've worked hard even though all [the] moves were gentle and simple.
Fiona (affectionately known to us as Fi) is a tremendous trio of Yoga Teacher, Chartered Physiotherapist and Specialist Soft Tissue Therapist.
She first started practising as a student of yoga 20 years ago in Australia while travelling.
In 1993 Fi qualified from Bath School of Physiotherapy and after gaining post-graduate experience, spent 12 years living and working in New Zealand. Fi received her training in Soft Tissue, Massage and Sports Therapy in Christchurch in 2006. During her time in NZ she badly injured her back and pretty much had to learn to walk again.
On returning to the UK in 2015, she worked as a Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist and Sports Massage Therapist and a friend advised her to ‘check out Lime House Yoga’. Three years later Fi managed to make it to studio, knocked on the door, was greeted by Jock and felt like she was meeting an old friend. She practiced as student with Jock for a year, before completing her 300hr Yoga Teacher Training here at Lime House in 2019. Her knowledge of anatomy and physiology now plays a strong part in her yoga teachings.
Fi says, ‘I’ve come a long way in a few years under the guidance of amazing teachers and the nurturing environment which is LHY. My favourite practice is morphing and evolving – my basis/foundation in Iyengar is invaluable for rehab and physio. Starting Ashtanga with Jock built up my strength, so while Iyengar makes you stable, controlled, and aligned, the combination of both gives the best of all worlds.
Yoga is infinite. Physio is the centre of my wheel and now yoga surrounds it, keeping everything oiled, keeping it turning.’
