"I have just completed a wonderful online 5 day silent retreat where Ian taught us Qigong every morning and evening, and I didn’t imagine that the online format would be so enjoyable and effective. I welcomed each gentle, carefully guided practice which were so helpful to wake up the body and prepare it for long meditation sessions. Ian explained with great care and clarity how to coordinate the flowing movements with slow relaxed breathing, and I experienced deep states of relaxation and well-being. I highly recommend it!"

"Ian is an amazing qigong teacher. I was very resistant to qigong but after attending his sessions I am loving it. His gentle approach and guidance with the movements is incredibly peaceful and the flow of energy can be felt instantaneously throughout the body. I would recommend anyone who needs more peace, love and joy in their lives attend one of Ian’s sessions. They won’t be disappointed."

"I joined a silent retreat in which Ian was teaching qigong twice a day for 5 days. The first morning my muscles were throbbing as usual when I try qigong , there was lots of resistance . As I continued attention was on mind complaining but something beautiful was beginning too happen. My breathing & body just carried on in a lovely rhythm all of its own in an undemanding, understated way. The 2nd day was easier but still mind resistance, by day 4 there was this realisation that my body loved it. The synchronicity between the breathing & movement was so harmonising like a deep peaceful meditation. By day 5 it was pure enjoyment & an opened body. Maybe it’s like this for others but it was new for me. I’m loving this body now & respecting & listening to it & that’s also thanks to Ian's calm beautiful teaching. I can’t tell you what a difference it’s made. The sequences & teachings were so nourishing to this being . A really big heart felt thank you too Ian."

"I'm very grateful for the kindness, patience, and compassion Ian brings to class, and every interaction we've had outside of it. It's been very important to me that the teachers I engage with are able to carry and live their message outside of their professional lives, and Ian certainly embodies that standard.
I highly recommend Ian McArthur for anyone interested in learning Qigong or meditation."

"I was invited to attend a Qigong class, and as I had never heard of this technique was interested to find out more. The class was lead by Ian who talked through the history of Qigong alongside the demonstration of the different movements. It was informative as well as a restful, peaceful class. I have attended further classes and am learning new techniques each time. I always feel at peace and re-energised after the classes and am practicing the technique at home. Ian is always more than happy to go through any techniques again, either at class or to be contacted between classes. I would recommend this peaceful, relaxing form of exercise. I would highly recommend these classes." - Claire
"I have been doing Ian's Seated Qi Qong classes now for a few weeks and really enjoying it. I have done standing Qi Qong in the past but had to stop due to developing a painful medical condition of the feet which makes me unable to stand. Ian is a good teacher, explaining the movements, giving us techniques that we can easily practice at home on a daily basis, going over things and adding new movements each class, which is great. As well as being excellent for my wellbeing, it also helps me cope with daily pain, and allows me to get back into a class. I am also doing Ian's meditation class and am finding that very beneficial too."

"The meditation technique Ian uses is really relaxing & not only that but it has taught me a new perspective on life; one which has continued to grow & improve areas of my life which caused me anxiety & stress.
Ian is a patient teacher & the time he spends talking over experiences demonstrates his caring nature. This has also benefited me to learn new ways to deal with anxious situations. I would recommend giving Ian’s classes a try if there is any situation in your life making you unhappy which you would like to change."

Feedback from an attendee from one of the Qigong classes :-
"I attended this class/event. I enjoyed it.
Because this method involves light, gentle movements It's therefore a tangible method/practice to use for health and well-being (providing and achieving more calm and inner peace in what is or can be a chaotic outer world with the pushes and pulls on the mind and body.
Simple methods were taught.
The host provides a nice, relaxing space - which is important to feel a soothing vibe from the environment when learning a new method. " - NS

"From the moment I met Ian I found him to be very welcoming and felt completely at ease, he's a very kind, understanding & open hearted man.
The guided meditation that Ian teaches has enabled me to find an inner place of peace & calmness which I've never felt before, it has completely changed my life, there's a stillness I have inside me now, peaceful and calming, I don't look for answers from the outside world like I used to, I look within myself now.
I would sincerely recommend Ian's meditation group to anyone looking for a better, happier way to live life."

"I've known Ian McArthur for the last 5 years. In this time I have come to know him as a deeply genuine, compassionate and open hearted person.
The guided meditations which Ian leads, enable me to drop deeply into a place of inner stillness and silence. From this place, my life now flows from a deepening calm and peace. I can sincerely recommend Ian McArthur as a meditation teacher and guide for your own inner journey." Barbara Payne, Skiathios Greece |

"I have been guided into meditation by Ian since November 2014 and his gentle voice and calming manner encourage me to allow myself to feel peace. He is always willing to answer questions in his Q & A session straight after meditation. The group is relaxing and welcoming and it is easy to be guided into the meditation with Ian."
