Remember Who You Are

What is Qiga?

Qiga is a somatic and interoceptive practice that begins with breath and unfolds through awareness.

Rather than correcting, controlling, or labeling experience, Qiga invites you to listen inward — allowing the body’s natural intelligence to guide what comes next.

In this practice:

• The breath initiates

• The body responds

• Expression arises — or stillness remains

Both are complete.

Qiga draws inspiration from the shapes and rhythms of nature — spirals, waves, circles, and pauses — not as forms to perform, but as languages the body already understands.

We explore movement not as something to name or perfect, but as expression.

We explore stillness not as something to achieve, but as something that reveals itself when effort softens.

There is no right way to experience Qiga.

Choice, agency, and curiosity are central.

You may move.

You may remain still.

You may feel a lot — or very little.

All of it belongs.

At its heart, Qiga is a practice of remembering:

We are not the labels we assign to experience —

we are the awareness witnessing it.

The Qiga Manifesto

Qiga is not a method to fix the body.

It is a practice of listening.

We begin with breath — not to control it,

but to sense it.

From breath, awareness grows.

From awareness, expression may arise.

From expression, stillness may return.

We do not label movement.

We do not chase sensation.

We do not silence sound.

Just as color exists before it is named,

experience exists before interpretation.

In Qiga:

• Movement is expression, not performance

• Stillness is presence, not absence

• Sound is included, not resisted

• Choice is never removed

Spirals, waves, and natural forms are offered as mirrors —

not instructions.

Nothing needs to happen for the practice to be complete.

The breath listens inward.

The body responds.

Awareness witnesses.

This is Qiga.

The Core Principles of Qiga

1. Awareness Before Action

We begin by sensing, not doing.

Interoception gives the mind something simple to rest on so awareness can deepen.

2. Breath Initiates, the Body Responds

Breath is the invitation.

Movement — or stillness — is the response.

Nothing is imposed.

3. Expression Over Performance

Movement is not named, corrected, or evaluated.

It is allowed to express in its own language.

4. Stillness and Movement Are Equal

Stillness is not absence.

Movement is not excess.

Both arise naturally when given permission.

5. No Experience Is Pathologized

Feeling something, feeling nothing, changing your mind — all are valid.

There is no expected outcome.

6. Choice Is Central

You always retain agency.

You may move, pause, sound, rest, or remain internal.

7. Shapes Are Invitations, Not Instructions

Spirals, waves, and natural forms are offered as references — never requirements.

8. Witnessing Is the Practice

We are not here to label experience.

We are here to be with it.

“Nothing needs to be named for it to be true.”

You are not performing Qiga.

You are remembering how your body already knows how to move.

Qi = life force, breath, vitality, the intelligence that animates you

Ga = movement, expression, form

👉 Qiga means: “movement guided by life force.”

Not forced movement.

Not aesthetic movement.

But movement that arises after awareness is present.

Why Qiga Is Different

Most movement practices begin from the outside in:

• posture

• alignment

• effort

• correction

Qiga begins from the inside out.

We start with:

1. Breath

2. Sensation

3. Presence

4. Then movement

This is why Qiga can be done:

• lying down

• sitting

• standing

• in bed

• during emotional moments

• during transitions in life

Because it’s not about what the body looks like

—it’s about how the body feels and communicates.

In Qiga, the “dragon” is not something to defeat.

It is the part of you that holds instinct, power, and deep wisdom.

When ignored, it feels overwhelming.

When met with breath and presence, it becomes a guide.

⸻

Qiga is a gentle, breath-led movement practice designed to reconnect you with your body and inner awareness. Through slow breathing, subtle sensation, and intuitive movements like waves, spirals, and infinity patterns, Qiga helps regulate the nervous system, soften tension, and restore a sense of wholeness. There is no choreography, no performance, and nothing to “get right”, only an invitation to feel, listen, and move from within.
