What is Qigong?
Qigong or chi-kung is the ancient art of cultivating health, longevity and union with nature.
It is generally defined as energetic ( qi ) work ( gong ).
In particular, it is the ability to unite body, breath and mind with the aim of achieving a state of inner harmony.
This harmony is the fundamental criterion of Qigong.
It’s what allows you to feel the qi.
Feeling the Qi
Where we put our attention, that’s where the energy will gather.
Try it now!
Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths, then rest your attention on the center of the palm of one hand, maintain your focus for at least 60 seconds, observe what happens and breathe slowly.
You may have noticed a sensation of heat, tingling, wind or warm waves – these are the sensations associated with the accumulation of energy.
Note that everyone’s experience is unique.
This is a universal principle of Qigong: energy follows attention.
Feeling and cultivating energy is something natural, instinctive and available to everyone, we just need to (re)learn how to do it.
Learning Qigong (chikung)
Face-to-face Qigong classes are held in Lisbon (Parque Bensaúde – Laranjeiras) or online via the Zoom platform.
The practice has long-lasting effects, and because it involves slow, gentle movements, it is suitable for all ages and physical conditions.
Whether you practice twice or every day of the week, the benefits of qigong will change your mind, body and life for the better.
Give it a try!

Greater fluidity, tranquillity, physical health, mental clarity and confidence are increasingly part of the days that die into nights in the cosmic dance.

Excellent teacher, with deep knowledge, wisdom in his heart, and a lot of patience for those starting from scratch.
João’s friendliness, availability and patience and his classes have helped me a lot.
Since I started I’ve noticed a huge difference in myself: in my body posture, in the way I feel the sensations in my body and even in the way I see the world.
I have nothing but good things to say about him and I’m very grateful.
I’m loving the classes with João, starting these classes was undoubtedly one of the best things that happened in my life in 2023.
I’m getting new perspectives on life, my body and a general serenity and well-being.
I recommend it to everyone!
João is an incredible Human Being, easy going, easy to talk to and easy to understand, and shares his knowledge in an excellent and genuine way.
I highly recommend Qigong classes with him.
My first contact was in another language, which interested me and I felt was something I’d like to delve into. In order to connect with my mind and body, I needed classes in my mother tongue, which is how I discovered João through Google.
Since I started classes with João, I’ve already seen mental and physical improvements.
I recommend João to anyone who wants to learn this art. He is competent, friendly and flexible with his timetable.
My experience is only online because I’m not in the country, but each session is as if it were in person.
I’ve been working with João for about a year and a half and it’s been a very complete and positive experience, in terms of personal growth, physical development and emotional awareness.
It’s an excellent way to maintain and improve my physical and mental health.
João, thank you for this valuable service.
I recommend it!
