What is Qigong?

Qigong (气功, [tɕʰikʊŋ]), sometimes translated as “ancient health exercise” or “thousands-of-years-old health gymnastics,” is a holistic Chinese practice for body, mind, and heart developed over nearly 5,000 years.

Through gentle movements, focused awareness, and conscious breathing, Qigong activates the body’s natural energy system, strengthens vitality, and promotes self-healing.

There are many styles of Qigong — from simple, accessible forms to advanced training used by athletes and even astronauts. Everyone can practice, regardless of age or physical ability.

At its essence, Qigong is about reconnecting with yourself and restoring balance.

It cultivates calmness, resilience, and inner peace — and your harmony naturally radiates to those around you.
