Introduction to Qigong With its roots in ancient Chinese philosophy, medicine and martial arts, qigong helps practitioners find physical and mental balance and vitality through meditation, regulated breathing, poses and movements. Similar to tai chi, the practice can boost energy and overall health.

Robert Whittemore “Qigong combines body movements and breathing exercises. It encourages you to destress and relax. It makes me more aware of how I am breathing and exerting energy during exercise. It also offers a way to cool down and refresh myself after my Fitness Center workouts.”
