Qigong is slow, mostly upright, and repetitive by design. Sets of simple movements are timed to the breath and repeated, which makes it one of the least demanding things on a movement timetable and one of the easiest to start late.

Chen-style tai chi in the Zhu Tiancai lineage, taught through a ten-week beginner program aligned with WA school terms — posture, breathing, silk reeling and the 13 Postures routine — at Troy Park in Attadale on Saturday mornings, with a second venue in Safety Bay. Beginner classes run on donation; annual membership is $40.
A martial arts school teaching tai chi and qigong alongside kung fu for more than twenty years, with academies in Balcatta and Fremantle. The tai chi and qigong streams sit at the wellness end of the practice — slow-form work for balance, breath and focus, for adults and children.
Sifu James Lui teaches Choy Lee Fut kung fu alongside Lohan qigong at three hall-and-oval venues across the river — South Perth, Brentwood and Myaree. The qigong is not a warm-up bolted onto the martial art but its own stream, which is rarer in Perth than the number of kung fu schools would suggest.
In Perth it is most often taught alongside tai chi or kung fu rather than on its own, so the school's name may not mention it even when the class runs weekly. Where a listing names qigong, the school publishes it as its own class rather than as a warm-up.
Classes are frequently held in halls, community centres and parks rather than studios, and several run in terms that follow the school calendar. Little equipment is involved: flat shoes or bare feet and clothes you can move in.

A Chinese movement practice of slow, repeated sets timed to the breath, usually done standing. It shares its roots with tai chi; qigong tends to repeat short sequences where tai chi works through a longer form.

Length and structure. Qigong repeats short sets of movements; tai chi learns a long sequence of postures in a fixed order. Most Perth schools teach both, often in the same session.
Schools generally list qigong as suitable for all levels, and much of it is done standing with small movements. Several Perth classes are run for older adults specifically.
