Hun Yuan Qigong workshop in Lisbon with Michael Metelits, a three-hour deep dive at 30 euros into the stances, movements, breathwork and meditative visualisations of Hun Yuan Qigong, a style widely taught alongside Chen Style Taiji and disseminated in the 20th century by Feng Zhiqiang. Suitable for all levels from complete beginners with no qigong experience to seasoned practitioners, conducted in English, limited to eight students for intensive and personalised instruction throughout.
The session opens with a short discussion of what qigong is and is not and an introduction to Hun Yuan specifically, before moving into gentle loosening work, standing postures, forms movements and sealing exercises with questions welcome throughout and a dedicated Q and A period toward the end. Each movement in Hun Yuan combines posture, breath, movement, visualisation and deep connections to Taoist alchemical practices and lore, making this as much a philosophical and energetic encounter as it is a physical practice. Every participant receives access to explanatory materials in digital form and personalised energetic adjustments based on the morning’s practice.
