Over The Jade Tortoise

The Jade Tortoise is a boutique Qigong studio in the heart of Amsterdam.

Our practice is rooted in the Thai Qi Holistics Tradition and supports health by addressing both internal and external imbalances in a grounded, embodied way.

Our unique studio setting allows for small class sizes, ensuring personalized attention and pace to attune. Within this setting, you begin to observe the subtler layers of your being—where breath meets movement, sensation reveals holding, and energy begins to find its course to release.

Werkwijze The Jade Tortoise

Qigong Programmes
To learn TQH Medical Qigong is to enter a living language — breath, stillness, and movement, repeating over time. Each programme provides a distinct rhythm — a structured path into your own capacity for healing.
At The Jade Tortoise in Amsterdam, Medical Qigong classes are offered in small groups and private sessions. Each programme is tailored to your condition, capacity, and intention.

Whether you are still trying to articulate your condition, or seeking a therapeutic path, you will find guidance here. The programmes are offered as inspiration, yet each can be shaped around your own available time.

Qigong for Burnout

Burnout can unfold quietly, over years — even decades — of neglecting our natural rhythm. You may find yourself running on fumes, unable to rest deeply or recover fully. You wake tired. You go through the motions. Your body feels heavy. Your thoughts foggy. And that inner spark that once fueled your days? Dimmed.

This isn’t just tiredness. It’s deeper than that — physical, emotional, mental, spiritual. Sometimes students describe it as losing their rhythm. Sleep becomes irregular. Mood fluctuates. The smallest tasks feel overwhelming. You start to wonder if you can actually recover at all.

I know this feeling closely. For years I pushed through. Ignored the signs. I thought I was managing — until I wasn’t. Until I realized I’d lost touch with something essential. In the old Chinese medical texts, they call it Winter of the Soul. That’s exactly what it was. A season where everything pulls inward, the light dims, and you’re just… depleted.

Burnout happens when Yin — the body’s reserve of rest and renewal — runs out, and Yang just keeps going. The result is exhaustion that no amount of sleep can repair. Medical Qigong rebuilds that balance. The movements soothe something. Your breath starts to nourish you again. Stillness — actual stillness — becomes possible. Step by step, Yin returns to meet Yang, energy steadies, and recovery starts.
