Qigong
What Is Qigong?
Qigong (pronounced chee‑gong, 氣功) is an ancient Chinese practice that harmonizes slow, mindful movements, deep rhythmic breathing, and focused intention to cultivate and balance Chi (Qi)—the body’s vital energy. Think of it as moving meditation: accessible to all, gently building strength, flexibility, calm, and resilience—whether you’re seated, standing, recovering, or thriving.
Unlike yoga’s stretch-and-hold poses or Tai Chi’s flow-heavy martial choreography, Qigong focuses on internal energy flow and therapeutic alignment. Its roots are woven through centuries of Taoist, Buddhist, and Confucian healing traditions, medical theory, and martial arts wisdom
