Qigong (tjiekong) was developed in China over 5,000 years ago. Qi is life force, the power that allows people to grow and flowers to bloom. Gong means movement. Qigong therefore means moving the body and allowing the Qi to flow.
In shamanism, it was discovered that by improving the flow of Qi in the body through specific movements, people became more relaxed, healthier, stronger, and calmer. As Qigong was further developed, it was discovered that it can bring about a deep inner transformation. It allows you to recover from illness, let go of old patterns and the root causes of illness, and live a more balanced, grounded, and happier life.
Taoism and Buddhism are two philosophical traditions that form the theoretical foundation of Qigong. Taoism, in particular, has had a strong influence and provides guidelines for a balanced and healthy life. The influences of Taoism are reflected in the exercises. Buddhism has had a significant influence on the meditative aspects of Qigong.
Over the centuries, many styles of Qigong have been developed, each with its own unique approach. What all styles and exercises have in common is that they lead to deep relaxation in the body and foster a strong sense of grounding within yourself, as well as a deep connection with heaven and earth.
The philosophical basis of Qigong encompasses Taoism and Buddhism. Both provide guidelines for a balanced and healthy life. Qigong is therefore a training for physical healing, personal growth and self-cultivation.

At my school, I teach the following styles:
- Yi Jin Jing Qigong—focused on strengthening muscles and tendons, a Shaolin-style Qigong
- Healing Qigong—developed for prevention, healing and recovery from (serious) illness, a practice for all meridians
- Alchemical Qigong – a Taoist style for deep transformation, both physical and psychological
- Qi work – exercises for high sensitivity, developed by me
- Meditation – training the mind through Buddhist meditation and Qigong meditations
- Tai Chi ball – trains the entire body, particularly the back and shoulders, and works on the organs
- Self-Awareness Method – a deeply transformative Taoist practice
The ancient Chinese masters said: after every 100 days of practice, you reach a new state of mental and physical health; after 10,000 repetitions, you master an exercise.
Empty your head of all thoughts, let your heart be at peace. – Lao Tszu
