Qi Gong, pronounced “Chi Gong” means “Energy Skill”.

It is a traditional Chinese system of cultivating vital Energy (qì [氣]) through mindful movements and coordinated breathing. Many individual movements or sets of movements exist as this practice originated thousands of years ago and evolved through the ages, with many lineages and styles still taught worldwide to this day. 

​

The term "Qi Gong" serves as a broad category for various movement practices that promote both physical and psychological well-being. Some movement sets are quite dynamic, emphasizing strength, mobility, and endurance. Conversely, others are slow and nearly stationary, featuring prolonged postures that concentrate on alignment, relaxation, breath, and mindfulness.
