Physical exercises from the areas of fitness, yoga, and qigong und creative expressive dance are combined with mental meditation and visualization techniques. This training is especially suited for women in mid-life who are a little gentler with their bodies and who want to maintain mobility and a trim figure. The exercises are easy to learn but extremely effective and allow much latitude for personal preferences. Training programmes can be individually assembled from the different training building blocks.
