Qigong Basics (Preview)

Embark on a transformative journey with our "Qigong Basics" series, designed to introduce you to the ancient Chinese practice of Qigong. Rooted in the principle of xing ming shuang xiu—the harmonious cultivation of both spirit and body—this series offers a comprehensive foundation for enhancing your physical vitality and inner balance.

Qigong (chi kung) is an energy and intention-based practice that works with the principles of xing ming shuang xiu, meaning 'the body and spirit are equally cultivated and refined'. Qi means 'life force' and gong means 'to cultivate or build'. Thus, qigong is the cultivation of life energy.

This series offers a foundational look at the basics of Qigong, an ancient Chinese practice that combines slow, intentional movement with breathwork and meditation. Qigong is used to support well-being through both physical health and mental clarity, emphasizing balance between the body and mind. Regular practice of the sequences in this element-based qigong series, can help you maintain or rebalance the flow of energy in your body, supporting its innate ability to abide in a more balanced, healthy, natural state.

The series begins with an introduction to Qigong for beginners, covering core principles and what beginners can expect. It includes a warm-up to activate the body's energy channels, followed by movements based on the five elements, and a guided session with hand gestures and breathwork helps support internal balance and awareness. Each video is structured to be approachable for beginners, with clear instructions and a gradual progression through key concepts and techniques. Whether you're new to Qigong or revisiting the basics, this series provides a grounded starting point.
