“I had the incredible opportunity to immerse myself in a qigong retreat, even though I had zero prior knowledge about it. I must say, it was an extremely enjoyable and enriching experience. Qigong is a beautiful ancient practice that combines movement, breathing, and meditation to cultivate and balance the body's vital energy, also known as Qi.
I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to the amazing qigong teacher Ani Petrova and to the group of wonderful ladies who shared this journey with me.”
— Aurelija, Lithuania
“I started practicing Qigong with a lot of expectations. I have a chronic neck trauma and back pain. Just after a month of a regular Qigong practice I felt much better. My concentration improved as well and my stress levels have definitely decreased. Ani is a great teacher! She will personalize her approach to you if necessary in order to feel the maximum benefits. She is a real healer! Thank you!”

“Before starting practicing with Ani, I've heard of Qigong without knowing much about it. Already practicing dancing, yoga and meditation, I was willing to try something different, in between a physical and a mental practice, here we are. I enjoy a lot learning and practicing with Ani, she is very dedicated to it, good at explaining, detail oriented and patient with us. She enjoys teaching and we feel her passion for it ! After a session, I feel both calm down and energised, ready to face my day!”

“Ani is an excellent friend and a teacher. I haven't heard of Qigong before. It was very important for me to do some exercises and to take care of my body and mind during the isolation in the last couple of months. Ani and her practice have become a real treatment for me. She creates absolutely professional atmosphere, she is a very good practitioner and reaches easily her audience. After the sessions I feel happy and realeaved. Thank you, Ani!”

“Learning Qigong with Ani has showed me a new world where mindfulness goes together with physical movements. Ani has a very forthcoming attitude towards her students and teaches with a thorough insight into the philosophy which she passes on with enthusiasm and professionalism. Her soft voice and great sense of humour inspires you to try even harder to reach the calming feeling of Qi and the control of your body. This combined with the perfect surroundings close to the river makes every class a perfect start to the day.”
— Dorte, Denmark
“Ani is a very encouraging and passionate teacher and I really like her Qigong classes. She is constantly seeking at improving her own Qigong and teaching, and brings those learnings into the classes. Practicing outside on a grass feels very nice and also differentiates the classes from any other sport or activity. The classes are varied, but the common thing is the good feeling afterwards. No matter what we practice during the class, the relaxed, calm feeling is always there. I strongly recommend Ani’s classes for anybody who wants to learn or practice Qigong.”
— Parla, Finland
“It was my first time ever to try Qigong in my life, but I really enjoyed the class from the very first day. It gives such a pleasant feeling especially after each session; you feel refreshed, calm and energized at the same time. All these are such an ideal way to star a day ahead. I also like Ani’s way of teaching as she not only corrects our movements, but also, explains how the movement effects and why it is important for body and mind. She is an attentive and serious teacher, but without being too intrusive or pushy. I also appreciate this way of having "mutual respect" between one another.”
— Yoko, Japan
“Qigong connected me not only with my body, soul, spirit, but also with my ancient roots by making me aware of myself in a way nothing could before.”
— Eva, Romania
“Qigong has become a close friend, a companion over the last few months, keeping me grounded and generating an alertness to life.”
— Adrienne, Sweden
I found in Qigong a mindfulness discipline which I will like to keep developing, knowing that there is more scientific evidence that supports the importance of taking care of our body posture to protect mental health. Such a gift for our health!!. Love the way you inspire us through the guidance in each practice being present and aware of body posture.
Spread Qigong you give me the serenity in each class I have from you!
— Eva, Romania
"Practicing Qigong with Ani for a weekend was deeply nourishing. Ani is a skilled teacher who cares about her students. Her classes are built in a way that guides toward self-practice and engages the students with the appropriate level of challenge to reach the flow state. Ani commits to taking individual time with everyone. She has the capacity to adapt to different learners. She adjusts, explains in different insightful ways, and demonstrates the forms in detail and precision.
The content, progression and practice-theory balance were great. There was time for sharing, and also to appreciate the remote location by the ocean, perfect to go inwards.
With the quality of her presence, centered energy, consistent discipline and compassion, Ani truly embodies the Qigong philosophy."

"Qigong has helped me in finding the right balance with my body and mind. I feel myself more in peace and grounded with Mother Earth. Discovering Qi within your body is a fantastic experience which enables you to release stress, tensions and stay calm. Even I have only have been practicing for less than 2 years, I can already feel the transformation of this state of mind. I would definitely encourage anyone to try and discover their own Qi with Ani’s classes. She is very patient and can adapt the classes for the well-being of each student."
