What do you think Tai Chi and Qi Gong are?

Often people say “What is it?” or “I’ve always wanted to do Tai Chi or Qigong it looks so soft and gentle, with the waving your hands in the air.” 
People are drawn to the Classical Chinese practices for many reasons.

The main difference between Qigong and other types of exercise is contained within the word Qigong itself: ‘Qi’ means life energy, and ‘gong’ means work or method. Qigong is a method of cultivating and balancing Qi (life energy).

Our Qi flows along specific pathways in our bodies known as meridians and where the Qi flow is blocked or absent, pain and illness can result.

In Qigong we learn to focus on gently opening and stretching the joints and muscles. This releases tension that has often been there for years in such a way to balance our posture and open our meridians ensuring Qi can flow freely to every part of our body to bring health and vitality. Because of the internal focus of Qigong practices, there are exercises that we can use to move in ways that massage and send the energy to specific organs in our bodies.

Qigong will promote your health and longevity.
