Our classes are based on the Taoist Yin Yang philosophy and work with the universal life energy Qi. By means of slow, relaxed and conscious movements the capacity for internal harmony and balance is realized. Your body is gently and thoroughly practiced, your emotions are calmed down and your mind is brought back to a peaceful state of wholeness. As a result, the Qi flows powerful and unhindered through the body. We offer beginners class of 1 hour or we can offer a course of 6 hours in which you will learn Shibashi, a form of 18 movements.
Both Yoga & Qi Gong can be done in groups of 15 people class.

In this way, you can achieve some form of relaxation or discharge: in the head and in the rest of the body.
