Biospirals Qigong

Move Like the Universe. Heal From the Inside Out with the Biospirals Method.

What is the Biospirals Method?

biospirals qigong logo

The Biospirals Method Qigong is a complete and living system — born in Venice in 1984 through the long and patient research of Master Franco Mescola, founder of the Taiji Research Centre, who spent decades harmonising the thousand-year-old wisdom of Eastern tradition with the discoveries of Western science. At its heart is the spiral — the shape that governs galaxies, seashells, and the DNA within every cell of your body. Through images, breathing, and movements inspired by this fundamental intelligence of the cosmos, the practice loosens and awakens the body's connective-fascial system — freeing the pathways through which Qi flows and reconnecting you to the abundant forces of the Earth and the heavens.

Benefits of Biospirals

Gentle enough for all ages and fitness levels, yet deep enough to create profound and lasting change, its benefits are felt almost immediately in the bones, joints, muscles, fascia, and above all the energetic system — with slow, meditative repetition guiding both body and mind into a state of deep calm that dissolves the effects of accumulated stress. In these progressive courses, Gillian Reid — a direct student of Master Mescola since 1992 and one of the world's most experienced senior instructors of the method — guides you step by step through each sequence to offer a truly integrated path toward physical vitality, emotional harmony, and the quiet power of a life lived in alignment with nature.

What You'll Learn

This unique energy-awakening form activates the central axis and stimulates the pulsating rhythm of spiralling life force in preparation for the Biospirals sequence. 

Through spiralling movements, this sequence brings awareness to the pulsating quality of the body's central axis and enhances the connection to Heaven and Earth.

Self-paced Course in English & Italian

Biospirals Level 1

  • This is where your spiral journey begins. In Level 1, Gillian guides you into the foundational language of the Biospiral body — how to breathe with intention, how to listen to your connective tissue, and how to let the body's own intelligence begin to unwind. Through Run Tun, breathwork, Tensegrity-based fascia and skeletal alignment, preliminary movement exercises, and your first complete Biospirals Sequence, you will arrive in your body in a way that may feel entirely new. No prior experience needed — only curiosity and the willingness to move gently and feel deeply. Results are felt from the very first session.

About The Founder of Biospirals Method Qigong

Master Franco Mescola (1938-2014)

Master Franco Mescola was a Venetian Tai Chi master, researcher, and the founder of the Biospirals® Method that Gillian teaches today.

Born in Venice, Franco began his martial arts journey in 1960, studying with Japanese masters before meeting Master Chang Dsu Yao in 1975—a pivotal encounter that shifted his focus entirely to internal arts. He became Master Chang's disciple and collaborator, founding the Tai Chi Research Center in 1985 with his teacher's blessing, which later evolved into the CRT Association and Instructor Training School.

For nearly thirty years, Franco dedicated himself to deep research in Tai Chi and Qigong, studying with masters across Africa, India, China, and Mongolia. He brought these practices into unconventional spaces—teaching at the Venice Biennale Dance Academy, collaborating with New York's Actors Studio, working with oncology patients, and guiding inmates in Venice Prison.

In 2002, after decades of exploration, he synthesized his understanding into the Biospirals® Method—a revolutionary approach to movement based on the body's natural spiral patterns and fascial intelligence. This method, along with his Xuan Chuan form, became the foundation of what is now taught worldwide.

Known affectionately as "Stevenson" or "Tusitala" (Polynesian for "storyteller"), Franco was also a writer, poet, and painter whose art was exhibited throughout Venice and internationally. His legacy lives on through certified instructors like Gillian Reid, who continue to share his profound gift of spiral movement and somatic wisdom.
