In today's Qigong podcast, Yvonne Hoeboer, a Zhineng Qigong teacher and community builder from the Netherlands, shares her extraordinary journey — losing 20 kilograms through consistent Qigong practice and discovering how Qi itself can become the body's deepest source of nourishment.
Yvonne's Qigong journey began in 2012, drawn in almost by instinct — describing her very first class as "homecoming." What started as a personal practice grew into a calling. After traveling to China for her teacher training in 2017, she began her 100-day gong practice. Through consistent Qigong — especially wall squats — something remarkable happened: over two years she lost 20 kilograms naturally, without dieting. The evening cravings she had battled for years simply disappeared.
Torsten and Yvonne explore the fascinating connection between Qi cultivation and appetite. When you practice Qigong deeply, the Qi nourishes you at an energetic level — and the body stops reaching for food to fill what it was really craving. She also shares how the mindset teaching of Ming — self-observation without judgment — creates a powerful inner "switch" that can be applied far beyond weight loss, to any habit, pattern, or addiction in life.
Yvonne also reveals her exciting new project: a Zhineng Qigong community gathering happening August 28-30 in Limburg, the Netherlands — open to practitioners, teachers, and beginners from across Europe. A beautiful event built on the belief that Western teachers are now the carriers of this ancient wisdom, empowered to spread it in their own unique way.
Join Yvonne as she explores: Can Qigong be the key to lasting transformation — in your body, your mind, and your life?
