What is Qigong?
“Qigong (pronounced "chee-gung") is a Chinese mind-body practice that combines slow movement, controlled breathing, and focused attention to cultivate and circulate qi — the body's life-force energy. Practised for thousands of years, it is used for health, relaxation, and building internal power. More on what qi is”

“Qigong is the broader practice of cultivating energy through breath, posture, and simple repeated movements. Tai Chi is a specific martial art built on Qigong principles, using flowing choreographed forms. Qigong is usually easier to learn first because its movements are simpler.
