Qi pronounced chee

Gong pronounced gung (as in lung)

Qi Gong dates back thousands of years to Ancient China. Qi means energy as well as breath. Gong is a general term meaning work or skill. The term Qi Gong is translated as breathing exercise or energy work. The practice of Qi Gong is a breathing exercise of working with life-force energy. Developing this life-force energy is essential to achieving a vital, healthy emotionally and spiritually balanced life. Qi Gong increases the internal energy of the individual. Practicing Qi Gong, enables the individual to become healthy, emotionally balanced, and spiritually connected. It creates inner peace, balance, and harmony that leads to healthy longevity and a deep sense of purpose in life. During the practice of Qi Gong you will be incorporating gentle active movements, stretching movements, deep breathing techniques, learning healing colors, and healing sounds. Qi Gong is part of Traditional Chinese Medicine and works with the acupressure points and meridians within the body.

Qi Gong is a moving meditation, as the body moves the mind remains still, creating a sense of balance, strength and flexibility. Deep breathing combined with simple, gentle movements and strengthening postures to enhance the flow of your energy and bring you back into balanced optimal health.  Having balanced, smoothly-flowing energy is the key to experiencing and maintaining your health and wellness. The integrated style of Qi Gong that I am teaching incorporates active movements with standing (or modified sitting postures), deep breathing and going from movement to stillness is a way to refocus your over active mind.

Yes, the style of Qi Gong that I teach allows for you to modify the movements as needed for your level of health and fitness. I have many clients that will practice the movements sitting in a chair (chair without arms is preferred, but use whatever you have that is a sturdy/stable chair), or clients will do a combination of sitting and standing depending on their personal needs. If you are ok to do some walking or standing, then incorporate some of the Qi Gong movements standing, always staying within your level of comfort.

Qi Gong movements are suitable for women and men, young and old, athletes and also sedentary people. Qi Gong movements can be modified as needed so if someone has a disability Qi Gong is also beneficial. Qi Gong practices can be personalised for individuals to aid with their recovery from injury or illness. Qi Gong is suitable for standing or seated and at time lying down, options for all ages and all fitness levels. Qi Gong is a good complementary practice to fit with other forms of therapy, always check with your doctor or health care professional before starting a new exercise practice.
