„Don’t be afraid to grow slowly, just be afraid to stand still.“
Nei Yang Gong
Inner nourishing Qi Gong
In my courses I teach Nei Yang Gong, a medical-therapeutic Qi Gong system with roots in the Ming Dynasty (16th century). Originally, it was only passed on within families and from masters to selected students. In the 1950s, it was revised by Liu Gui Zhen and opened up for therapeutic use. Today, his daughter Liu Ya Fei is the style holder of this method in Beidaihe.
Nei Yang Gong was specifically developed to promote health, alleviate discomfort and support the body in chronic or acute illnesses. It can have a regulating effect on the flow of energy (Qi) and strengthen the internal organs and the immune system.

Basic level – entering into stillness to build a foundation and self-massage.
- Silent exercises promote deep physical and mental relaxation through conscious imagination and breathing.
- The self-massages stimulate circulation, metabolism and Qi flow. They strengthen health, prevent illness and can alleviate complaints if practised regularly.
Mittelstufe –
- Silent exercises include more complex breathing methods with breathing pauses, tongue movements and inner visualisations and recitation of ‘magic formulas’. The selection is individualised based on the symptoms present and the Chinese diagnosis.
- Moving exercises (e.g. ‘move muscles and tendons and move the Qi’) promote the mobility of the spine and joints, strengthen muscles and organs and harmonise Yin and Yang in the body. The 2nd form (‘move the Qi and prolong life’) is practised with even more imagination.
Nei Yang Gong can be seen as a method of medical self-care. It combines movement, breathing and imagination in a way that can bring body and mind into balance – gently but effectively. I am happy to help people get to know this method at their own pace and use it for their own health.
