What is Qi Gong?

Qi Gong is an internal and externally focused art that involves slow, flowing, co-ordinated, body movements and breathing. It has roots in China that can be traced back over 4000 years and is used to improve health, aid relaxation and promote the cultivation and smooth flow of internal energy.

Qi Gong (sometimes also referred to as Qigong or Chi Kung) has many translations but, literally, can be taken to mean “life energy cultivation” or "energy work".  In Eastern cultures, Qi Gong is traditionally used for preventative and healing health.
