Learn Qi Gong

There are many different methods of Qi Gong. Also written as Qigong and Chi Kung, its practice incorporates both static and moving postures that are coupled with proper deep breathing techniques. In Static Qigong, certain fixed postures are held for a determined amount of time. In Moving Qi Gong exercises, arm movements and stepping can be incorporated.

Qi Gong is an integral part of Chinese martial arts, especially the Internal Systems of Taiji Quan, Xing Yi, Bagua and Liu He Ba Fa where Zhan Zhuang, or Standing Post, play an important role for developing proper structure.

In traditional Chinese medicine, your blood, breath, and energy are closely related, and their harmonious flow reflects your state of health and vitality. It is important to keep your body’s vital energy, or Qi (Chi), in balance to restore and maintain your health.

Nowadays, QI Gong is classified under three major categories:

• Medical Qi Gong
• Martial Qi Gong
• Meditative or Spiritual Qi Gong

These methods are often intermingled and aid one another.
