Frequently asked questions

Why should I practice Qigong?
Qigong provides concrete and easy-to-acquire solutions for preventing all types of disorders and diseases, for combating the effects of stress and recovering from illness. Qigong is also an excellent method for improving your intellectual and creative potential. Nowadays, Qigong has also become a complementary form of training included in the overall training program of top athletes. This has become the usual practice in countries such as Japan, China, Korea, Vietnam, but also the US, Canada, Germany and France. One could say that, although its history goes back almost 8000 years, Qigong is a discipline ahead of the times, ahead of the progress in human society.
