WORKSHOP - QIGONG & MEDITATION
dao yoga and advanced daoist breathing
| Warsaw | 28 – 29 November 2026 |
Reversed breathing and compression breathing are the breathing methods for advanced Qigong, Taijiquan and Meditation. Dao Yoga postures enable us to open up, compress and use different spaces in the body for our breathing.
Workshop Description
In Qi Gong we know the three regulations: the regulation of posture (physical body), the regulation of breathing (emotional body) and the regulation of thoughts (mental body). In this course, we will specifically deal with breathing and opening spaces (physical, emotional and mental).
The basic form of breathing that we need to cultivate at the beginning of our Qi Gong practice is deep and relaxed abdominal breathing. Once this has been established, we begin to open and use other spaces for our breathing.
In this workshop, we will specifically develop and “breathe” the sides of the body (liver and spleen breathing) and the lower back (kidney breathing).
Furthermore, we will start with the advanced breathing techniques: reversed breathing and, in particular, compression breathing. To do this, we will use certain postures from Daoist Yoga, which specifically release and strengthen the diaphragm – our respiratory muscle.
In Dao Yoga, we use various positions to create compression, open our system and increase the flow of Qi, directing it to specific structures.
Dao Yoga is not meant to achieve flexibility and stretchiness per se. These happen naturally as a side effect of the practice. The aim of the postures is rather to relax the nerves and the flow of Qi throughout the body. When nerves and Qi relax, the body naturally opens up and the breath deepens.
In this workshop, we will use various Dao Yoga postures and Daoist breathing in a way that these two methods support each other while enhancing the effect of each one.

Student‘s voices
I found out about Ron from the person that I trust. You can’t trust online reviews so much, but if you’re wondering if meeting Ron is for you, you can only trust your intuition.
For me, work with Ron was about exploring fundamental levels and changing habits that were harmful to my body. He is a real teacher, and before I met him, I didn’t know I needed his teachings so badly.
Meeting and starting work with Ron was for me to settle again in my body. Confrontation with the old tension and bringing consciousness back into closed, forgotten, and lifeless parts of the body is like being born again.
When I started practicing Qigong, my life has completely transformed in both the private and professional parts. On my way of life, I finally found a guide who teaches me to meet my own power and stand in it on my own feet - figuratively and literally.
I have been participating regularly for 10 years in Qi Gong workshops led in Poland by Ron and I practice every day as much as possible. I keep fit and healthy at the age of 75. I can also help my patients better (I have been practicing Traditional Chinese Medicine for 30 years now). I have a lot of liking for Ron for the fact that he smoothly combines very high expectations and requirements of participants and his own with support and care. He is perfect in his teachings not for the fact that he goes into detailed technical instructions but that he can consistently communicate the essence and depth of Qi Gong.
During every session, I experience the immediate use of this practice. First of all, my physical and mental presence increases. Thanks to Ron’s very logical and pragmatic explanations, concepts are revealed to me which slowly merge as a big whole. Ron teaches principles that go beyond the sheer physical motions and extend to all my areas of life. Absolutely mindblowing.
I've been on inner search for over twenty years. Ron is the teacher I always wanted to meet. Practice under his guidance, universal wisdom he gives us is something unique in this crazy world, where pseudo-teachers multiplied. I wished only to have more time to practice because it results in my greater peace of heart and better vitality. At the end of each workshop and retreat I thank him personally or quietly in my mind with words 'Thank you, Ron for being here.
Ron Timm is a master teacher, an expert in his field. If you want guidance with learning how to meditate or starting a daily Qi Gong practice – look no further. I can highly recommend his healing classes & energizing retreats where you’ll be introduced to mindful exercises which will quickly produce noticeable benefits on all levels – mind, body and soul. Get started today!
Through the work with Qi I can develop a more subtle and more differentiated perception, which enlarges my diagnostic and therapeutic possibilities. At the same time, I learn to deal with my own energetic resources. The basic understanding of Qi, which we develop during the trainings is not only a support in the professional field, but facilitates every aspect of my life. Ron has the skill to transport the deep wisdoms of Daoism with clarity, pragmatism, lightness and contagious enthusiasm.
Between the age of 12 and 23 I sustained several concussions and whiplashes. I suffered from reduced mobility in the area of the cerebral spine as well as from strong tiredness after any effort. Through Qi Gong I found back to my mobility.
After several years of Taiji with another teacher I was surprised how little basic knowledge I had. In a short time with Ron (and intense private lessons) I got important insights and strongly demanding exercises. With Ron I feel seen, challenged and supported.
