Yin – Yang

Yin and Yang seem opposite, but merge into each other. Like tension and relaxation alternate. You could say that Yin and Yang are a dynamic duo of two extremes. A dichotomy of principles or forces that permeates all aspects of life and the universe.

Qi

The Chinese word Qi has many meanings. A literal translation is “invisible” or “unknown factor”. In the lessons we mean by Qi especially Yuan Qi which can be translated as life energy or original energy.

Just as Western Medicine divides into systems, such as the hormone system or blood circulation, Traditional Chinese Medicine has a more holistic view of how a body works.

Qi flow nourishes and protects the body. A blockage in the Qi flow can affect the entire body. We practice to reduce blockages and improve the Qi flow.
