What is Qigong?
* Qigong, pronounced “chee gong,” was developed in China thousands of years ago. It is a type of mindful movement that uses slow, fluid movements and is similar to Tai Chi.

movements can make it easier to learn
than similar forms of exercise.
* It uses gentle exercises that can improve
the body’s energy flow to find
greater health and wellness.

Qigong has both physical and
psychological benefits.

connection by bringing us fully into
the present moment.
