Breathing is the first thing we do when we are born; that first breath of air gives us life. And with our last sigh on this earth, we stop breathing, marking the end of our life. Ironically, we spend most of our lives without knowing how to breathe properly—without breathing in a healing way or using the wonderful instrument of breath to our advantage. In his conscious breathing workshop, Bastian from MindBodyInMotion taught me to harness the power of breathing for my benefit, to breathe in a way that relaxes and revitalizes, making it the best natural anxiolytic. He showed me how to use breathing to revitalize my body and create energy. Ultimately, he taught me to master the most powerful tool we have in our lives to live better—a tool many of us neglect due to ignorance. Throughout our lives, we encounter many teachers. Some teach us what we don’t want, and others show us what we cannot live without. Bastian has shown me the path I want to follow for the rest of my days. At 56 years old, he taught me the importance of conscious breathing and its impact on our lives, demonstrating that it serves as medicine for both body and soul when practiced correctly. I highly recommend his courses, workshops, and classes—everything you can access—because they will help you improve and heal physically and mentally.

Hello. My name is Tatiana, and I want to share with you my wonderful experience of participating in a Tai Chi Workshop. It was fabulous to gather in a place surrounded by nature, with mountains around, fresh air, silence, and peace. We started with meditation, followed by more than an hour of exercises, and ended again with meditation and deep breathing. In the end, you find yourself in a state of peace and physical and mental well-being. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to our teacher Bastian, and I hope we can soon repeat this wonderful experience.

The Breathwork Workshop was a unique opportunity for personal growth on both physical and emotional levels! The combination of breathing techniques, Qigong, and self-care practices is incredibly powerful, allowing participants to connect deeply with themselves. I feel fortunate to have experienced it in the stunning setting of Roque del Conde, which added to the overall tranquility of the experience. I highly recommend this workshop to anyone looking to enhance their physical, emotional, and spiritual health. It’s an experience that truly enriches the soul and is definitely worth it!

A day at VistalRoque, participating in a Hatha Yoga session led by Guacimara, followed by a Qigong session with Bastiaan, is the perfect way to kick off a weekend by giving your body and mind a boost of relaxation, peace, and well-being in a wonderful natural setting. It has been a very rewarding experience, not only because of the practice of these sessions, which nourish both body and mind, but also due to the energy and support from the guides, which was exceptional. Together with David, they provided attentive care with warmth and kindness that was very comforting. They truly gave their best. Additionally, they concluded the event with a detailed healthy brunch in a beautiful environment. The hostel is very lovely, cozy, pleasant, and very clean. I highly recommend treating your body and mind to this experience at this location with these people, because these activities can be found in many places, but with these individuals and in this setting, it becomes truly special. Congratulations, team!!!! 💪 And thank you for nourishing my body, soul, and mind. 🥰🙏

I have been taking online Qigong classes with Bastiaan for two years, and it has been an incredibly rewarding experience. Initially, I wasn’t sure what Qigong was or how it could benefit me, but I quickly discovered the profound effects it has on my overall well-being. The flowing movements combined with deep breathing techniques have helped me relax fully, allowing me to unwind and release the stress of daily life. As I continued with the practice, I noticed significant improvements in both my physical and mental health. The gentle, yet effective movements have kept my joints flexible and significantly reduced my back pain, which has made a tremendous difference in my daily activities. Moreover, Qigong has enhanced my mental clarity and emotional balance, providing me with a sense of calm that I didn't know I was missing. I wholeheartedly recommend giving it a try! You may be surprised by how much it can improve your quality of life.

I am very happy and satisfied with my Qigong teacher, Bastian Groen, and the class I join via Zoom. His teaching style is excellent, and I have learned so much in a short time. The virtual classes are convenient and effective, and I look forward to each session. I hope I can continue to enjoy and benefit from these classes for a long time to come. Thank you, Bastiaan.
