Spine - Qi Gong, relaxation through pleasurable flowing movements

Qi Gong offers us varied and gentle movements instead of one-sided movements and lack of exercise.
Qi Gong helps us to deal better with stress and bring more relaxation into our lives.
Translated from Chinese, Qi Gong means "persistently practicing to preserve life energy".
In this way, Qi Gong serves to maintain health and healing.

In spinal Qi Gong, we learn exercises that make the joints of the spine flexible again, loosening tense muscles and gently strengthening weakened muscles. Our back regains its supple flexibility. The flowing movements of the Qi Gong exercises lead us into a deep state of relaxation - and are a lot of fun!

The course is particularly suitable for people who
- reduce tension in their back
- improve their flexibility
- improve their posture
- and want to reduce stress

Course leader: Jörg H. Schmidt - physiotherapist, alternative practitioner and Qi Gong teacher from Sachsenheim
