Qigong, pronounced as "chee gong," is an ancient practice originating from China and East Asia. It emphasizes the harmonious interaction of body, mind, movement, and consciousness. For me, qigong is about establishing a deeper mind-body connection while building personal relaxation, strength, stamina, and resilience. This practice can be embraced by individuals of any age or fitness level. Qigong facilitates the free flow of 'Qi' or energy within the body, helping to release tension and enabling the body and mind to work together harmoniously.
