"When Your Qi Flows, Your Health Glows!"
Build strength, health and vitality trough the ancient practice of QiGong!
What is Qigong?
Qigong is a well-being practice that often involves: mindful movement and/or stationary postures; breathing techniques; self-massage; and mental focus. Qigong (often pronounced chee gung) means “energy cultivation practice”— and helps people to better produce and manage their overall energy and vitality!
Are there different forms of Qigong?
Yes, there are many forms of movement-based Qigong. There are also “medical qigong” (hands on healing techniques) and “martial arts” forms (like kung fu).
Where did it originate?
Qigong is believed to be thousands of years old and began in the Eastern part of the world.
Is Qigong a religion?
NO. It does not require anyone to join or give up their current faith or religion either. All are welcome to practice it and enjoy the health benefits it provides!
Is it similar to Tai Chi or Yoga?
It has some similarities to both Tai Chi and Yoga as it includes the importance of posture, breathing, and focused intention to promote better health and well-being. Qigong is sometimes referred to as the “grandmother of Tai Chi”; as well as “Chinese Yoga”.
Is it easy to learn?
YES, overall it’s easy to learn (assuming you have a good teacher and can follow basic instructions). This is one of the key differences with Qigong vs. other practices such as Yoga or Tai Chi. It’s often much easier to learn; and the positive benefits it provides can often be felt immediately!
How long does it take to do each day?
There is no set number of minutes or time. So… as long as you want it to take. However, it’s often a good idea to commit to at least a minimum of 10 minutes a day to see good results. A structured Qigong session in class format is often 30-60 minutes.
