Hi, I’m Jo\u00e3o Lopes.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I study, practice and teach Qigong, a lifestyle that has accompanied me since 1999. This fascinating Chinese art aims to balance the energy of the body and mind, providing a healthier and happier life. <\/p>\n

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of learning from three different masters, each bringing a unique vision and approach. These experiences have enriched my understanding of Qigong and allowed me to build a solid foundation of knowledge and practice.<\/p>\n<\/div>

In 2019, I began my journey as a teacher, helping my students discover the countless benefits of this ancient practice. My purpose is to share knowledge and support those who wish to find more balance and well-being in their lives. <\/p>\n

Currently, I continue to deepen my studies in Han Yang Ru Yi Medical Qigong, Wuji Gong and Yang Shen Qigong with the first-generation Master, Mr. Li, in Lisbon.<\/p>\n

Qigong is much more than an art of conscious movement; it is an advanced science that promotes well-being and integral balance. That’s why I integrate scientific studies and evidence into my practice, uniting tradition and modernity. <\/p>\n

With me, you will learn a solid foundation of traditional and modern Qigong. My aim is to provide you with tools and practices that will make you independent, helping you to build a personal and lasting practice that will transform your life.<\/p>\n<\/div>
