Chi Gong Group

Chi gong is appropriate for everyone regardless of age or physical ability. As one of the foundation elements for Chinese martial arts, medicine and philosophy, chi gong is a practice or exercise that involves slow body movements and postures in coordination with breathing and meditation. Chi is translated as “energy” and it is one’s vital energy that flows through the body. The chi gong practice is to promote the balance and increase the vital energy in the body.

Teacher Li-Tsai Sun has taught the Chi Gong Group at WTIC for over 18 years. The class meets every Friday morning from 10:30 to noon, at the 4th floor recreation room of the Institute of Diplomacy and International Affairs (MOFA) building.

In order to promote a healthier life style, especially during the COVID pandemic period, Teacher Sun places heavy emphasis on the daily practice of chi gong. This way chi or our vital life energy can constantly and smoothly flow within one’s body. When we do our daily chi gong practice, it promotes the flow of energy as we are breathing in and breathing out, which can help to improve one’s vitality and health.

Due to the COVID pandemic this year, we were able to hold very few in-person classes and were unable to have any class outings. We are hoping that things will get better and we can have our weekly chi gong practice as a group in 2023!
