Courses & Classes in Maastricht: Chi Kung, Massage, Yoga, Sound Bath & Mensendieck Movement
At EQ Maastricht, we offer a variety of courses and classes focused on healthy movement, relaxation, body awareness, and personal development. Our approach combines traditional Eastern practices with knowledge of anatomy, movement science, and years of practical experience.
Chi Kung Course in Maastricht
Chi Kung (Qigong) is a traditional Chinese health practice that has existed for more than 5,000 years. It is often translated as “energy work”, although this does not fully describe the depth of the practice.
During this Chi Kung course in Maastricht, you will learn simple and effective exercises that support health, vitality, and balance. The movements are easy to practise and are often repeated, allowing you to develop awareness and relaxation through experience.
We explore breathing techniques, posture, softness in movement, and the connection between body and mind. During the course, we will work with traditional exercises including the Eight Brocades (Ba Duan Jin), elements from Da Cheng Chuan, and walking meditation.

Yoga & Sound Bath in Maastricht
A gentle and mindful Hatha Yoga session where we prepare the body through small exercises and different postures on the mat, creating space for energy to flow more freely.
Through conscious breathing, we become more aware of the physical body and allow the breath to help release physical and mental tension.
What is a Sound Bath?
A sound bath is a relaxing experience that helps you reconnect with yourself. The gentle sounds of singing bowls, gong, ocean drum, rainstick, and other instruments invite the body to relax and restore balance.
Sound can support relaxation, deepen awareness, encourage letting go, and create space for new insights and inspiration. It also supports the body’s natural ability to recover and restore itself.

Mensendieck Movement Classes in Maastricht
Mensendieck exercise therapy focuses on posture, body awareness, and healthy movement. These group classes were developed by Jeannette, based on more than 25 years of experience guiding people with physical complaints in her Mensendieck practice.
She has personally practised Yoga and Tai Chi for around 20 years and is trained as a teacher in both disciplines. Since 1995, she has taught movement classes for older adults at various locations in Maastricht, Schimmert, and the surrounding area.
The content of the Mensendieck movement classes has developed naturally over the years and combines different forms of movement and awareness training:
- Calm and focused exercises from Tai Chi and Yoga to support posture, breathing, balance, and stability.
- Movement exercises with music to encourage enjoyment and relaxation.
- Active games using materials such as balls, sticks, and badminton rackets to train coordination, reaction speed, and movement skills.
- Memory exercises to practise concentration, multitasking, learning new skills, and problem-solving.
- Attention to fall prevention and maintaining independence.
- A social coffee and tea moment to connect with others and reduce social isolation.
