What is Qigong?

Qigong, pronounced as ‘chee-gung,’ represents ancient Chinese practices, incorporating elements such as movement, focused breathing, visualisations, and meditation. Esteemed as one of the five foundational pillars of Chinese medicine, Qigong is frequently embraced for its therapeutic benefits. Rooted in the traditions of Buddhism, Daoism and Confucianism, the origins of Qigong are deeply intertwined with the principles and wisdom of these venerable traditions. The forms, inspired by nature, animals, and the seasons, create a beautiful flowing movement aiming to cultivate healthy qi (energy) flow through the body.
