Qigong, the art and science of cultivating the body’s energy, has been practiced in China for thousands of years as a technique to improve the body’s self-healing abilities. Qigong, simply stated, is the cultivation of Qi, or vital life energy.

The gentle rhythmic movements of Qigong reduce stress, build stamina, increase vitality, and enhance the immune system. It has also been found to improve cardiovascular, respiratory, circulatory, lymphatic, and digestive functions. Those who maintain a consistent practice of Qigong find that it helps one regain a youthful vitality, maintain health even into old age and helps speed recovery from illness.
