5.00This was early today, but getting up that early to see the sunrise at that magic place was amazing. After sunrise we started with Qigong by Filipe and for me it feld like I was deeply concerned with myself and the nature guides by Filipe. Starting the day this way..whowwww 🌅

5.00An amazing experience with the guidance of Filipe. First watching the beautiful setting of the sun and then the Qigong session on the cliffs with the sun in view. Filipe explained each movement very well. I felt very energised afterwards.

5.00I had a wonderful Qigong session this morning on the cliffs. The setting was absolutely beautiful, with stunning views and a peaceful atmosphere that made the experience even more special. Filipe is an excellent teacher with a deep knowledge of Qigong. He explains everything clearly, shares valuable insights, and creates a calm and welcoming environment for everyone. His positive energy and genuine passion for the practice are truly inspiring. I left the session feeling relaxed, balanced, and re-energised. I highly recommend this experience to anyone looking to connect with nature, improve their well-being, and learn from a skilled and caring instructor. Thank you, Filipe! 🙏✨
Zen Experience in Serene Natural Beauty

5.00Sunrise Zen Experience with Qigong & Meditation at one of the most beautiful beaches in the Algarve. This has been for me the highlight of my travels on this trip to Portugal. The experience is led masterfully and very kindly by a Qigong teacher and passionate soul. We met “before” sunrise at a comfortable location at Marinha Beach near Langoa Portugal in the Algarve with lots of parking. The booking consisted of a small group. Filipe greeted each of us and we walked on trail framed by beautiful rustic cliffs, ocean and natural vegetation. The first light of a new day was just beginning to show, subtle, muted colors of magenta and bronze. Filipe guided us to the perfect flat, safe spot and we had the opportunity to take numerous photographs and videos to record the amazing view framed by a stunning sunrise. We watched as the sun came up and showed us the way into the Qigong & Meditation practice. We stood on a semicircle and listened to serene and knowledgeable instructions provided by Filipe. Several easy Qigong exercises which include gentle body movement & breathing exercises later we were relaxed and very satisfied with our time on that cliff with Filipe. His introduction to this practice was motivational. The un-rushed hour flew by and the conversations about the Qigong practice that involves centering your body, breath and mind continued all the way back to the cars. If you’re looking for a peaceful, stunning sunrise over the cliffs of Algarve led by a knowledgeable source book this now! You will not regret it!
A deeply transformative experience

5.00Doing Qi Gong with Philip was much more than physical practice — it was an inner journey, a true return to the essence. From the first movements, I felt a subtle lightness, as if each gesture awakened something asleep in me. The quiet presence of Philip, coupled with the sensitive way he conducts each session, creates a sacred space of silence, listening and deep connection. It is as if, for moments, time opens up space for the reunion with what we are beyond the noise of day to day. I felt a serene well-being, an inner clarity and a peace that persists far beyond the moment of practice. I recommend it to anyone looking for more than relaxation — to anyone who truly wants to come back to themselves. An experience that touches the soul. I'll always be back!

5.00Doing Qi Gong with Filipe is like coming home. I breathe gently, close my eyes, and feel my mind releasing stress and body revigorating with joy 😊 Filipe is calm and attentive, and I am deeply grateful because I have improved my practice over time with his dedication and enthusiasm. I feel grounded.
