What Is Qi Gong?

Pronounced: Qi = “Chee”  |  Gong = “Gung”

Qi means life force, aliveness, or the vital energy that flows through all things in the universe.

Gong means a skill cultivated through practice.

Qi Gong is a way of cultivating energy, increasing vitality, and promoting and maintaining physical and emotional health and overall well-being.

— Lee Holden

A welcoming class experience

What Do We Do in a Qi Gong Class?

Standing or sitting, we move with no impact as we breathe, direct, store, circulate, exchange, and balance our qi. Warm-up, activation, stretching, flowing movement, postures, breathing, and meditation are typically included in every class.

At times, the class may include specific meditations, the inner smile, healing sounds, or color practices. We also make space to read and listen to poetry.

No experience is necessary. A beginner’s mind can be incredibly refreshing, open, and spacious.

A practice for body and mind

Benefits of Practicing Qi Gong

Some benefits may be experienced within the first class, while others develop gradually through consistent practice.

Warmth

A warming sensation may be experienced as circulation improves and energy begins to move.

Grounding

The body may feel calmer, centered, rooted, and more naturally aligned with gravity.

Expansiveness

Joints open, the back body lengthens, and the heart may feel more spacious and open.
