"My first ever experience of Qigong was through Ian's teachings. I was taking a meditation workshop, and he had been invited to start the day off with an hour of Qigong. After that session, I felt so relaxed and present in my body that I had to take more of his classes. I've taken both Qigong and meditation classes from Ian, and his approach to both practices comes from a place of simplicity and efficiency.
Ian's approach to teaching, above all, aims to help you feel at peace and connect with the Home in the Heart, our true nature, that we often overlook in our busy lives. After each class I've taken of Ian's, I become flooded with peace, gratitude, and an awareness of the energetic aspect of my being that keeps me grounded and light when moving through the remainder of my day.
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. I discovered Ian's website and saw he gave Qi Qong classes but on contacting him he said he was interested in doing a seated class. I can thoroughly recommend this class, especially for people like myself who cannot partake in the usual classes offered due to medical conditions etc. 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."

"I have been attending Ian’s meditation class since October 2015. I turned back to meditation, after initially trialing the technique many years ago, & Ian was recommended via a friend. I was unsure what to expect at first as I had never attended a meditation class and can feel uncomfortable in new situations, but Ian and Maggie were welcoming from the start and helped to put any worries aside. 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

"I started attending Ian's meditation group in October 2015. I originally went to support my daughter, having tried meditation before and not being able to get to grips with it so to speak, I went to Ian's group without any expectations. I very quickly found Ian's form of guided meditation very different from meditation classes I'd tried before.
I have suffered from stress & anxiety and all the physical symptoms of that for many years never knowing what it felt like to have a peaceful mind. I found it very difficult to attend my first meditation group, I felt extremely anxious & very nearly didn't go at all but as I mentioned before I made myself go to support my daughter.
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.
Ian has been my mentor for the last 2 years and during this time has been a source of strength, openness, honesty and wisdom for me. 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 |

"Ian is an excellent teacher and his meditation sessions are always very calm and peaceful. He gently guides you deeper into the meditation and allows you to let go of worries and cares. I would highly recommend this meditation to anyone that wants to let go of stress, release anxiety or even to begin to wake up to our deeper self.
Thank you Ian, for running such a wonderful group where people can relax, get deep and meet like minded people. Always a pleasure to join in this meditation."

"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."
