Event Description

Step into the New Year with a practice that awakens your strength, frees your spirit, and reconnects you with the living intelligence of nature. The Five Animal Frolics—one of the most beloved forms of Qigong—invites you to embody the spirited vitality of Tiger, Bear, Deer, Monkey and Bird through flowing, playful, and deeply restorative movement.

For thousands of years, Taoist sages turned to the natural world to understand energy, resilience, and ease. From ancient shamanic roots and the legendary teachings of Peng Zu, to the refined medical lineage of Hua Tuo, the Five Animal Frolics has travelled through history as a powerful practice for longevity, emotional balance, and inner clarity.

In this five-morning New Year intensive, you’ll:

Reclaim your natural vitality through energising, low-impact movement
Build strength, flexibility, and balance while easing pain and tension
Nourish emotional harmony and mental clarity
Reconnect with your inner nature and the universal rhythms that hold you

Move like the animals. Breathe like the earth. Start the year attuned, energised, and renewed.
