What Do We Offer?
Empower your life, strengthen your health, and explore traditional internal arts.
In Aknanda we offer different education options based on each person’s objectives.
We believe the future comes with a holistic approach.
To understand the law of nature means to accept that everything is interdependent and constantly changing.
As Yin and Yang are two separate forces that need each other and are in constant movement, same happens with our mind and body.
We offer the opportunity to feel and discover how the law of nature works inside of us.

Neidan (Internal Alchemy): the Taoist Art of Transforming Essence into Spirit
Neidan, or Taoist internal alchemy, teaches how to cultivate and transform your inner energy through the refinement of Jing, Qi, and Shen. A practice of grounding, clarity, and deep inner change.
Neigong (Internal Work): the Taoist Art of Inner Cultivation in Qigong
Neigong is not a technique, but a quiet path into the center of being. Within the body as a temple, we cultivate the invisible: essence, energy, and consciousness.
Qi, Prana, and Ki: What Is Vital Energy in the East and How Does Qigong Cultivate It?
In this article, we explore the concept of vital energy as understood in Chinese, Indian, and Japanese traditions—known respectively as Qi, Prana, and Ki. We’ll discover how practices like Qigong help us cultivate this life force to restore balance, health, and connection with our true nature.
Yin-Yang and Ensō: Symbols of Taoism and Zen
Circles are among humanity’s oldest symbols. They suggest wholeness, unity, and the infinite. In Eastern philosophy, two circles stand out: the Yin-Yang of Taoism and the Ensō of Zen Buddhism.
Three Treasures of Taoism: Jing, Qi, and Shen in Qigong
The Three Treasures—Jing (精), Qi (氣), and Shen (神)—are the essence, energy, and spirit of human life in Taoism. They appear in classical texts and remain central to Qigong practice today, guiding the cultivation of health, balance, and spiritual growth. In Taoist philosophy, the expression “Three Treasures” can carry different meanings, and understanding this distinction helps clarify both internal cultivation and classical teachings.
Wu Wei in Taoism: The Art of Effortless Action for Mind, Body, and Energy
Wu Wei, often misunderstood as “doing nothing,” is a central concept in Taoism. It means effortless action in harmony with the Dao. This guide explains its meaning, its roots in classic texts, and how it connects to Qigong and daily life.
