Clara Apollo

Clara Apollo is a UK based Elemental Qigong teacher, teacher trainer, and creative energy guide with over 25 years’ experience exploring the transformative power of Qigong. Originally trained as a nurse before immersing herself in the healing arts, Clara brings practical healthcare knowledge together with decades of study in energy cultivation and embodied wellbeing.

She trained with the London College of Elemental Chi Kung, where she later became a Faculty Foundation Teacher Trainer, and has also studied with Qigong Grand Master Ken Cohen. For more than a decade, Clara taught regular classes through New Forest District Council Leisure Centres alongside private groups, workshops, retreats and one-to-one clients, helping hundreds of people cultivate greater vitality, fortitude and inner balance through Qigong.

Driven by a passion for integrating ancient wisdom with contemporary understanding, Clara is developing an original body of research into the relationship between the dantians and the chakra system. This work has evolved into Chakra Qigong, an integrative approach that honours the roots of classical Qigong while offering modern practitioners an accessible way to explore the body’s energetic landscape.

Complementing her Qigong teaching, Clara is also a Reiki Master, Colour Psychologist, and Akashic Records teacher and practitioner. Her multidisciplinary approach reflects a lifelong fascination with how energy influences health, creativity and conscious living.

Alongside her teaching, Clara has over 15 years’ experience in broadcasting and podcasting. She hosts Chi Time, a platform exploring energy, wellbeing and human potential, and previously co-presented the radio programme One Qi with John Millar on UK Health Radio. She has also been appointed lead interviewer for the forthcoming Quantum Qi film network, bringing conversations with leading voices in Qigong, consciousness and human potential to a global audience.

Whether teaching complete beginners or experienced practitioners, Clara’s approach is grounded, creative and deeply experiential. She empowers people to cultivate a genuine relationship with Qi that supports them in living with greater ease, vitality, presence and joy.

For Clara, Qigong is not simply a practice but a way of living — one that awakens creativity and reconnects people with the intelligence of nature, the wisdom of their own body, and the limitless potential of Qi.
