Relax and recharge on this unique women’s adventure which balances exploring idyllic surroundings and journeying within. We stay in typical Austrian Alpenchalet overlooking the mountains.

We start the day with a gentle Qigong - Yoga practice to awaken your body and nurture your spirit. Each day we will go for a rejuvenating nature hike. We round off the day with a women circle, a short relaxation, mindfulness or meditation practice which will set you up for a restful and rejuvenating night’s sleep. St Johann im Pongau with its dramatic Liechtenstein Klamm and beautiful mountains is known for its Austrian charm.

What is Qigong?
Qigong are Chinese exercises for strengthening and balancing body and mind. Qigong means cultivation ‘gong’ of energy ‘Qi’. Besides revitalizing the body, Qigong calms the mind by its soft movements, visualizations and direct contact with the nature. There are many different styles of Qigong, we will practice Dao Yin, which focuses on deep abdominal breathing and self-massage. The soft movements stimulate the blood circulation to the internal organs. By absorbing nature’s energy we restore the harmonious energy flow within our body. This energy flow boosts the immune system, repairs damaged cells and balances emotions. If this flow is disrupted, illness or pain may occur.
Although Qigong was created in China & Yoga in India, they both find their roots in Life force Energy (Qi - Chi or Prana) which enables us to connect within. Most of the time, our mind is entertained and focuses on the outside world, as a result we disperse our ‘Qi’ or energy. During Qigong (often spelt Chi kung) we bring our attention inside our body, so we can use this ‘Qi’ to replenish and harmonize body and mind.
