What is Qigong or Chi Gong?

Qigong / Chi Kung is variously described as breath or energy management techniques or a standing/moving meditation. Based on Chinese medical belief and/or Taoist philosophy - Some systems have borrowed from or given to Chinese martial arts. Tai Chi for example can be seen as one long chi kung exercise.

What Happens on our Beeston based one to one qigong lessons and group classes?

All the Qigong systems share similar characteristics. On our Personal training sessions you will copy either the standing/moving posture Be given advice on the breathing pattern to establish. Helped to alignment the limbs for health according to Traditional Chinese Medicine. (TCM) Assisted to visualise of the path taken by the breath which helps with the meditative aspects of the Qigong.
