Qi Gong
An age old practice which maintains a healthy body and mind
Qi Gong is a combination of natural slow movements, postures, breathing and breath control, concentration and body awareness.
Qi Gong relaxes the mind and the body, eases tension, improves flexibility and dynamism thus allowing energy to circulate better.
It is also a way of life, reactivating sensations and restoring confidence in your own body.
At L'Ostalas we offer Qi Gong, firstly because it is an excellent way of reconnecting and secondly because anyone can do it to their own pace and capabilities.
"First of all I started practising Qi Gong for personal reasons. Having realised how beneficial it was for my own body and mind made me want to pass it on to L'Ostalas guests. The domain being in a totally natural environment makes it it's a perfect place to practice Qi Gong" Frédéric
