Qigong | Tai Chi

Qigong is part of the ancient healing system of Chinese medicine. The term “qigong” is made up of the words “qi” meaning “vital energy,” and “gong” meaning “skill cultivated through steady practice.” Qigong is therefore about working with or mastering the energy of life. By consistently practicing the various forms of Qigong, which consist of gentle, easy, flowing movements you can regulate and harmonise your mind, body and spirit. This helps create a sense of peace, calm and relaxation for better health and wellbeing.
