Qi Gong: Qigong, pronounced “chi gong,” was developed in China thousands of years ago as part of traditional Chinese medicine. The goal is to optimize energy within the body, mind, and spirit, with the intention of improving and maintaining health and well-being. Movements are typically gentle and smooth, aimed for relaxation. Passive qigong techniques can be practiced in any posture that can be maintained over time and involve breath and mind exercises, with almost no body movement. Qigong is accessible for everyone as it can be practiced in a chair or standing!
