Qigong - moving meditation
Join the Red Ladder Qigong community for live, guided qigong sessions — gentle movement to relax and reconnect body, heart, and mind.
This autumn Dhammasiri will be offering led qigong sessions on Zoom. Guided by the breath, we'll move through the whole body: softening the joints, releasing stiff muscles and clearing out old, stuck energy. As we relax and let go, we open up space — and where there is space, energy can flow and we start to feel more alive.
Each session will be 45 mins, with around 35 mins of movement. After the movement practice there will be a space to say hello or ask questions, buy you can also leave the session then if you prefer to keep the quiet and stillness.
You don't have to sign up to the classes, just join when you can. Make sure you’ve signed up to the mailing list below and you’ll be receiving an email with a Zoom link the day before each class.

Cost
These session are offered on a dana basis, meaning you choose how much or how little you’d like to pay. You can make a donation before or after the class.
Giving towards the classes means I can keep offering them on a dana basis so that anyone can afford to join.

Preparing for your class
You don't need to be spiritual, or believe in any of the theory behind it, for qigong to work. Qigong has been practiced for both health and spiritual growth for thousands of years — and it's for anyone.
No experience, no equipment, no mat required. Just bring yourself, a bit of curiosity and a quiet corner to move in.
Most movements are done standing but a lot of them can also be done seated. The main thing is where the attention goes, even just visualising the movements will have an effect.
We'll meet on zoom, I'll say a few words to begin and then we'll start to flow. You can keep your camera on or off as you wish.
About Dhammasiri
I've been a Dharma practitioner for many years, and I've always loved to move my body. When I was younger it was sports: football, handball and volleyball, followed by a few years of yoga. In my forties I finally found the courage to sign up for a dance class. Coordination was never my strong suit, so it took some nerve.
Then the pandemic struck and the class moved outdoors. Our teacher turned it into a "Dance-a-Walk" in the forest, where we moved and played in all sorts of ways. She also brought in more meditative movement, which woke me up to the strong link between Dharma practice and moving the body.
That's when I found qigong, and I was hooked. I took a teacher training course in autumn 2025, began leading sessions on all our retreats the following spring, and since September 2026 I've been teaching weekly online sessions.
