What is Qigong?

Qigong (pron: chi-gong) is a form of movement and breathwork which offers us a way to have more energy. Yes, you read that right. 

Where many forms of exercise are designed to use up energy, practicing Qigong actually creates more of it - making you feel more energised, alert and calm as every cell gets a healthy flow of energy. 

What are the benefits of Qigong?

While Qigong has been around for thousands of years, it is still relatively unknown in the western world when compared to other mind body practices. However, its benefits are incredibly relevant to us today. 

Qigong can be beneficial to every aspect of our health and is a bespoke workout, which can be tailored to you and works in response to your physiology. You may like to think of Qigong as acupuncture without the needles.
