What is Qi Gong? Dating back thousands of years as a foundation of Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) involving the concept of meridians or energy channels within the body, Qi Gong is the study and practice of cultivating life force energy.  Combining breathwork, mind regulation and coordinated physical movements, Qi Gong optimizes energy within the body, mind, and spirit, with the goal of improving and maintaining health and well-being.
