Lohan Qigong Sydney Program

Lohan Qigong is a health exercise and meditation wellness program which follows Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) principles and has roots in the Shaolin/Buddhist and Daoist traditions.

Regulated breathing (Qi) and gentle movements (Gong) combine to rejuvenate the body.

The aim of our classes is to help improve one’s health and to attain a balanced state of well-being.



Breathing & Meditation

San Jiao & Walks



  • The Qigong walks introduce basic movement to the breathing techniques learned above
  • The body’s organ functions are divided into three regions (also known as the San Jiao or Triple Warmer) which promote the transformation, transportation and storage of fluids and Qi in the body
  • Learn gentle movements to harmonise the San Jiao and the associated internal organs of the body to improve blood and energy circulation
