What is Bos
Chi Kung (Qigong)?
Qigong (or: chi kung) is a kind of
fitness & energy training. Qi or Chi is the Chinese term for
life energy. And Gong or Kung means: training, cultivation, work.
So Qigong (chi kung) = fitness & energy training. Bos Qigong is
a special kind of gentle fitness or yoga, based on ancient
principles enriched with modern teaching.
What will you
learn?
- How to feel grounded.
- How to "get out of your head",
into your body.
- How to feel more centered, by
finding your physical center & mid line.
- How to develop your balance and
stability.
- How to improve your circulation
(and get warmer hands & feet).
- How to be more relaxed &
joyful during movement & rest (while standing, walking and
sitting).
- How to be more aware of your body
as a whole, as unity.
- How to feel, develop, and
conserve your energy.
- How to open your heart, body, and
mind more (and close them if needed).
- Nice, tai chi like movements,
without the complexity of tai chi.
How & why is Bos
Qigong different from other styles?
Thousands of qigong styles exist
in the world. Many are connected with ancient traditions belonging
to certain families, locations in China, martial arts (kung fu, tai
chi, yiquan, etc.), philosophic or religious groups, forms of
traditional Chinese medicine, etc. Many of the qigong teachings are
clouded with myths, Chinese terminology, secrecy, contracts,
traditonal master-diciple relationships, etc. Most are promoted as
being the best. Or strongest, most original, purest...
Bos Qigong is easy to learn.
Uncomplicated. Open. No secrets, no dogmas, no complicated
choreography, no learning contracts, no myths, no masters, no
Chinese terminology. Largely based on his 7 years' training in one
particular style, enriched with modern insights from different
qigong styles and other movement arts.
Bos Qigong offers an open
approach, where the learning is more important than the teaching.
The person more important than the system. We investigate together,
do research together. To find out what works for
you, and what you like to
do. Here and now. Because if you don't do it, it
simply doesn't work for you - however great and perfect the method
may be for others.
For whom?
English and Dutch speaking people
in Amsterdam. All nationalities welcome! Ages 16 - 96. No
