Qi Gong predates acupuncture and all other modalities, with roots going back 4000 years ago. It is the first step in self-healing since it is easy to learn and apply to all ages. It means “cultivation of Qi,” where qi can be translated as vital energy. It is exercise and “innercise,” which connects the body, mind, and soul with over 3000 styles. Unlike its sister Tai Chi, it is free form, making it applicable and suitable for all ages as an everyday exercise. A 10-15 minute routine in the morning before breakfast is a joyful way to start the day by modifying your sequence to fit your body condition, mood, and the time of the year with particular emphasis on seasonality. The most dynamic stretches in and out of the motions positively impact joint mobility. Its emphasis on posture helps improve especially core stability and balance.
