Beside her teaching and accompanist activities, Katrin Reifenrath has been practicing Qi Gong intensively since 2011, as well as Tai Chi Chuan, which she began as a student. The result was an enhanced feeling of well-being in her daily piano practice, greater ease in her playing and a better approach to being on stage. Hence she decided to undergo Qi Gong training in 2020 at the IEQG (Institut Européen de Qi Gong directed by the Doctor Yves Réquéna in France), with the purpose of teaching it, especially for musicians and artists. She obtained her teaching diploma in July 2023 and regularly attends workshops and further training. She teaches Qi Gong in the Conservatory of Luxembourg to her fellow teachers and students since September 2023.
