About
Shalom Yoga was founded in 2023 in West London.
Our classes combine Yoga with Qigong, a practice rooted in traditional Chinese medicine, focusing on movements that can be performed seated on a yoga mat or lying down, allowing you to deepen your relaxation. Each session incorporates gentle movements that release tension in both body and mind, as well as breathing techniques and meditation practices.
We believe the body is a “temple” that houses life itself. By tuning in to the body’s needs and approaching ourselves with empathy and compassion, true relaxation allows the mind to be liberated, and natural movement emerges from within. Genuine healing arises from the flow that comes from inside oneself—this is the guiding principle of Shalom Yoga.
About
Chizu Grace
Chizu completed a Yoga Instructor Training Course with the Japan Fitness Yoga Association in 2009. With a personal sensitivity to stress affecting both body and mind, she has spent over 20 years practising Qigong under the guidance and treatment of the Qigong healers she regards as her lifelong mentors.
Through this practice, Chizu has discovered that movements guided by the natural flow of Qi within each individual bring the specific healing and relaxation that each person needs.
Drawing on her experience in both Qigong and Yoga, Chizu offers and practises Qi Flow Yoga—a gentle approach that honours each person’s unique energy flow, moving in harmony through Qigong-inspired movements and yoga asana.
Chizu has also completed a 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training Course in Hatha & Vinyasa Yoga and an 8-week Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) Programme.
