My wife and I started the QiGong classes 9 weeks ago. We were very glad that we did. Our instructor , Lea, was the most fun person we could have had. With many years of experience she taught us the very best way to live a most healthful life following the teachings of QiGong. The exercises were easy to follow in class and as well as at home from the lessons sent to us by E-Mail. We do recommend others to try QiGong & Tai Chi with Lea.
A different method of exercise with a little fun added to it.

I recently attended the Intro to QiGong course with Lea. She's knowledgeable, passionate and has created an overall positive fun experience. We covered topics from breathing, strength training, connecting with nature and so much more. Lots of the material can be accomplished standing or sitting, which is great. Throughout the course we were given access to information, including videos to use as needed. My time spent was definitely well worth it. The key now is just to continue practicing and enjoying the journey.
Thank you! Charles

I started my journey in Tai Chi at Beachside Qigong & Tai Chi in January 2024. I came to the classes, taught by Lea, as a complete novice. Lea’s teaching style is like the art form itself slow, steady, ever moving. She breaks down each form with foot positions and movement and then adds the rest of the body’s moves. This ensures a full comprehension of each of the 73 forms. She ensures the student repeats the form, moving with them and talking through the movement which ensures a safe and helpful environment for the student. She also has an extensive video presence on the web through her web site. Again, each form is broken down carefully, easy to understand, and follow. I use her video classes at home for my daily practice and attend her twice weekly in person classes.
This form of Tai Chi, ‘SUN style 73”, is perfect for seniors and a great way to enhance and build better balance for our day to day lives. If you want to learn Tai Chi in the Space Coast area, this is the ShiFu to learn from.

I'm so grateful for taking Lea's Breath Workshop. There is so many benefits to learning how to breath properly. I am now more conscious of my bad breathing habits. I practice the exercise daily and it helps my overall energy level, mental health, and clarity. Highly recommend. Thank you Lea!

Lea at Beachside Qigong is extremely passionate about her discipline. She is masterful at imparting her art and sharing her knowledge and enthusiasm. She teaches the practice of Qigong and Tai Chi, as well as the underlying theory. This two-pronged approach really helped me understand WHY we were doing what we were doing. As her teaching style is very easy to follow, I highly recommend Lea’s classes to anyone just starting out, as well as the seasoned practitioner. Lea has a wonderfully contagious energy! She is patient and generous. She leads the group with ease, grace, and an open heart. I always leave her classes feeling inspired and uplifted!

I took the beginner level Qi Gong class to improve my current health. I was also looking for a way to maintain vital energy as I age. I was curious about Qi Gong since it's been around for thousands of years and modern research documents its effectiveness.

Our instructor Lea Williamson exceeded my expectations with her different modalities of support. In addition to in class instruction, she provided handouts with pictures breaking down movements and breathing patterns into discrete parts. She also made available videos that allowed me to watch and rewatch instruction after class. She is very knowledgeable of Qi Gong and I found the history and theory very interesting as we practiced together. Other group members participated for different reasons and Lea helped to facilitate a sense of community as we "journeyed" together.

Two other women and myself carpooled together since we lived between a half hour and an hour away. This class was worth the drive and I feel fortunate to have made new friends.

Lea gives a lot of very easy to understand instruction and the student can decide how much or how little he/she wants to apply to their lives. I felt very comfortable deciding what felt comfortable for me.

I am already looking for another class to take from Lea Williamson.

I am a doctor, and I know the importance of proper breathing technique for proper oxygenation in he body specially in the brain, but this techniques are way more than that. This workshop is more than what I was expecting. Lea transmit such a passion, love and energy for what she does, and the technique is so powerful, definitely recommended, I will recommend it to my all my patients for sure.

Lea is wonderful to practice with and learn from. She has a knack for working with all levels of students and physical abilities, and is gracious and effective with her feedback. Her classes leave me feeling so much better! I appreciate the flexibility of having both online and in-person classes to choose from. Highly recommended!
