The word “Qi” means energy and “Gong” means work so through the Qi Gong practice we work with our internal energy, also known as vital energy, “qi” or “chi”. The ancient masters of Qi Gong discovered that this “QI” could be controlled, developed and conditioned through breathing, body movement, meditation and visualisation. You can build up not only your physical strength but also your mental, emotional and spiritual one.

Through gentle body movements that aligns breath, posture and mind, qi gong works with the body’s energy systems to boost vitality and well-being.

The best way to increase our energy is through our breathing so by breathing deeply, we bring more energy into the body. The breath, therefore is a primary part of the practice. We integrate breathing with slow body movements to relax the body and calm the mind. The breath becomes our anchor from our distracted thoughts and emotions & it also acts as the connector between mind and body. When we are connected to our bodies, we are connected with how we feel physically and emotionally. Qi Gong is integration between mindfulness & motion.

 

Qi Gong originated in China 5,000 years ago and was used as a preventive medicine, a practice which allowed people to take care of their own health. Qi Gong constitutes a part of modern Chinese Medicine along with acupressure, agopunture & herbal medicine.

In Chinese medicine, we have five essential organs and when they are balanced, our bodies are in harmony.

 

 

The exercises are simple yet effective: every movement is aimed towards a correct and natural flow of vital energy within the body. During the practice we create a healthy inner body by working into tightness and tension and releasing them, allowing vital energy to flow freely once more. Where there is tension and contraction, vital energy slows down. The exercise un block any stagnant or blocked energy helping to restore balance. At the end of every practice, one should feel reinvigorated; there isn’t any energy loss or excessive exertion, everything happens naturally.
