Mark van Dam is continually developing his lessons to obtain maximum health benefits by creating an optimal balance between varied Meditations, Chi Gung and Tai Chi exercises.
Teaching since ’96, he found that many of his students in our fast paced western world seek immediate benefits. That is certainly possible in his group and (semi) private lessons available around Cork and County. Of course the more one practises, the more results are achieved!

* Most of my meditations are original and have been perfected during my lessons over many years. They are about breathing, focusing on deeply relaxing the muscles and organs. Using the ancient technique of mindfulness we release tension in the muscles and let go of thoughts that may be running around our mind. There are samples available online here.

I am really enjoying chi gung.
I practice at least once daily and have found an improvement in my energy and a consistency in my overall mood as more positive and grounded.
Thank you,
Kind Regards,
Colm
I have been attending Qigong classes for almost a year now and have found that my overall health and fitness have greatly improved.
I spend between 5 to 10 minutes most mornings upon waking doing some basic Qigong exercises, stretching and focusing on my breathing and find it really sets me up for my day by energising my body and mind. I include in my daily routine 50 or more face rubs which help to keep my sinuses clear. I have suffered from sinusitis for many years and have tried lots of lotions and potions to alleviate the symptoms and usually end up on antibiotics each winter. Now I don’t use anything other than face rubbing and and so far so good this winter, no medication, no headaches and no stuffy nose !!!
I love attending my weekly class with Mark who has thought me so much about how my body works, how to manage stress and pain through proper breathing and the weekly meditations are great for relaxing and finding that inner calm.
