The Meaning
What is Qi Gong?
Qi Gong is often described as meditation in motion.
Through gentle movements and conscious breathing, it helps restore balance, awaken energy, and create a deeper sense of presence. Practised slowly and mindfully, it becomes a simple way to reconnect body, breath, and mind.
In the peaceful surroundings of Sass da Grüm, Qi Gong invites you to slow down and simply be.
