Qigong – Taiji – Neigong
Studio MENG offers in-depth training in the internal arts: Nei Gong, Qigong, Dao Yin and Taiji Quan.
Rooted in the Daoist tradition, these practices refine the connection between body and awareness, building a foundation of stability and vitality from which focus, calm and strength naturally arise.

What others say
Paulus Nabbe

Through the love for my profession it is easy to give it plenty of attention and time. It is harder to have attention for myself. […] Inspiring classes with a healthy dose of humor and relativation. The next day I am always a little sharper and more energised!

[…] to be here as a human being, with all your weakness and power, sweating, battling and at the same time completely flowing, accepting; these classes might just be something for you.
Paul van Vliet came to my show. “It was beautiful” he said. “And you have learnt to stand.”

At work I am often confronted with confused people but the Qigong classes help me keep my energy to myself. They help me distance myself from these situations and allow me to keep an overview. On top of that I feel much less stressed by this kind of difficult situations. I feel stronger within myself.

Dao training with Mattijs opened new inner worlds for me and brought me a lot of inspiration in my search for a better connection with my body and my singing voice.
Anna and Hans v/d Steur
My husband and I have been having lessons with Mattijs for several years, and enjoyed them very much. He has the skill and ability to structure his classes so that they benefit various ages and needs. … The exercises are right on and effective. In addition, he always includes anti-stress treatments such as relaxation and meditation, and adds a good measure of humour so that we leave feeling cheerful and relaxed. And always want to come back for more.

Mattijs teaches in a unique personal style: original, calm, casual and modest. Yet powerful and confident at the same time. In a calm atmosphere Mattijs offers a lot of information that is solidly structured and that is practically embedded. The training stirred a lot and gave me plenty of energy. I feel proud that Mattijs offers classes in Do-in Academy at times.
