What to expect
Each Wellness Morning is a gentle, nourishing blend of movement, stillness, and seasonal care — designed to support your nervous system and help you feel more balanced in your body and mind.
You’ll be guided through:
Qi Gong
Slow, flowing movements to restore energy, improve circulation, and help your body feel more open and at ease.
Meridian Stretching (Yin-style movement)
Longer-held, gentle stretches to release tension, support your organs, and encourage deep relaxation.
Guided Meditation
Time to settle your mind, calm your nervous system, and reconnect with yourself.
Seasonal Chinese Medicine Tea
A warming, nourishing tea chosen to support the season and your overall wellbeing.
This is not about pushing your body or “doing it right.”
It’s about slowing down, listening in, and leaving feeling:
- Calming
- More grounded
- Less tense
- More energised
- Supported and held
No experience with Qi Gong, meditation, or acupuncture is needed.
Optional Group Acupuncture
For those who’d like to stay on after the Wellness Morning, a small number of places are available for a group acupuncture session at the Truleigh Centre.
This is a calm, restorative group setting where you can continue to relax, rest, and integrate the morning’s practice.
Group acupuncture can support:
• Stress and nervous system regulation
• Better sleep and steadier energy
• Hormonal balance
• Seasonal wellbeing
The session is quiet, gentle, and deeply settling — a chance to lie down, switch off, and let your body reset.
Spaces are limited to 10 people to keep the experience personal and supportive. No previous experience of acupuncture is needed.
