I’ve made my meditation guide How to Stand Still completely free for five days (8th–12th April).

I wrote this to help people who struggle to switch off, slow down, or find a bit of peace in their day.

It’s the same simple approach I use in my classes — focusing on relaxing the body, calming the mind, and developing stillness step by step.

If you find it helpful and would like to go a bit deeper, I also run weekly meditation and Qigong sessions, both in person and online, where I guide you through it.

You’re very welcome to join us.

Most people don’t realise how restless they are… until they try to be still.

The body fidgets.
The mind wanders.
Silence feels uncomfortable.

But stillness is something you can learn.

I wrote *The Mountain: The Path of Stillness* as a simple guide to help you:
• Calm the body
• Settle the breath
• Quiet the mind

Step by step. E-Book

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, restless, or just needed space to breathe, this might help:

Stillness is not the absence of movement…

It is the absence of disturbance.

In Qigong and Tai Chi, we learn to let go of those disturbances.

And what’s left… is peace.

Take a moment for yourself.

We are living longer than ever — but not always healthier.

Many of the people who come to my classes arrive feeling stressed, stiff, tired, or overwhelmed. Through Tai Chi, Qigong, and meditation we work gently with the body and mind to restore balance, relaxation, and strength.

These are simple, time-tested practices from the Far East that help people move better, breathe deeper, and feel calmer.

The evenings are getting lighter and spring is on the way.

If you've been thinking about improving your health, now is a great time to start.

Come and join us and take the first step toward feeling better.

🌿 Health & Stillness

I’ve spent the past year creating spaces for people to slow down, breathe, and reconnect.

Through Facebook I teach Tai Chi, Qigong, and meditation.
Now I’ve started a Twitch channel — a calm space with no drama, just somewhere to relax and unwind.
Together, these are becoming something bigger.
A small ecosystem of spaces built around stillness, health, and community.

Whether you:
🎮 watch the streams
🧘 join a class
📖 explore the teachings

There’s a place for you here.
