Qigong, Qi (“subtle breath” or “vital energy”) and Gong (“skill cultivated through steady practice”) is an ancient ‘healing-exercise’ system, developed to help prevent and cure disease, strengthen the digestive, circulatory and skeletal systems, as well as personal cultivation.
Daoist masters from the Wudang tradition have developed these forms over hundreds of years, to foster the natural energy and flow of one’s ‘Qi’ with the practical application of martial arts.
By quietening the mind and feeling the stillness in the motion, this practice helps increase concentration and balance the inner and outer self toward health, peace and longevity. This mind-body-spirit practice integrates posture, movement, self massage, breathing techniques, sound and focused intent.
These stationary programs are personally designed to best support your personal practice and goals for maximizing health, and may be adapted as ‘seated’ forms.
