Lessons with Luke are something I look forward to more than eggs! And that’s saying a lot!

Relaxed and energized

I joined Luke's Qigong sessions with basic grounding in Qigong from China.  I really enjoyed the composition of forms, explication of movements, which didn't take any room away from actually getting immersed in the form.

As a teacher, Luke strikes a good balance between method/instruction and experiential learning. After each session, one feels both relaxed and energized, which I particularly appreciate.  Luke also has pedagogical qualities, which makes appropriation of the Qigong philosophy smooth and enjoyable to the 'Western' mindset.

A clear progression within the practice

Luke is a friendly and patient teacher, who explains clearly the general objectives of each session, and finer points of each move, or set of moves. 

His delivery is clear, knowledgeable and precise yet gentle and informal, and this helps put me at ease within the session. Working to a regular timetable and session length, the sessions have developed a clear progression within the practice and I definitely feel the benefit both physically and mentally of this regular process. 

His Zoom sessions have worked very well within the format, and although each person is in their own geographical location Luke makes the sessions feel like we are practicing together as a group or community. 

I would definitely recommend Luke and his sessions to anyone interested in Qigong.

Clarity in explanation

I knew a little of qigong before joining Luke’s weekly sessions this spring, but my experiences of the practice had been intermittent, not particularly sequenced and lacked the energetic flow that I was later to discover. Since joining Luke’s regular online meetings I found my understanding and enjoyment deepen greatly.

 Luke is a wonderful teacher, who’s clarity in explanation and demonstration really helped me understand the discipline and the forms. His own knowledge, practice and skills as a teacher make the sessions one of the highlights of my week.

Fun to do!

Luke's training is more than a gym gem. In its best moments it channels the universal truth of healing which everyone can relate to – at least a solid practice with attention to detail and also a lot of fun to do! Body and mind feel grateful to go this way.

Passion for Qigong

Having Qigong classes with Luke every Tue and Friday mornings has helped me stay strong of mind, body and spirit when the winds of change and sadness bless bitterly this year. Luke’s classes are full of laughter, love and a passion for Qigong, human behaviour and physiotherapy that is infectious.

Lessons with Luke are something I look forward to more than eggs! And that’s saying a lot!

Thanks Luke for sharing your remarkable and inspiring journey with us

Pushing the clouds away

I love learning and doing Qigong with Luke. He does it graceful and sporty, funny, elegant and modern.

We are rocking the sun, dancing with the moon, pushing the clouds away and we fly like a goose.

Even it is a video call with a couple of international participants - Luke makes it very personal and exclusive.

My body and soul appreciates it very much. He is the best teacher! :)
