Qi Gong (pronounced chee gong) is a powerful meditative practice designed to promote healthy flow of energy in the body (Qi) and create inner harmony, calmness and peace. Borne of science and Chinese philosophies more than 5,000 years ago, Qi Gong offers simple tools and techniques that combine elements of breathing, gentle movements, mental focus, visualization, sound and moving meditation. Those who practice Qi Gong regularly find the exercise profoundly helpful for managing daily stress and wellness, and transformative in terms of overall health and well-being.


Benefits and Impact

Qi Gong has been noted in research to have potential in improving the health of those with cancer. Evidence is emerging that Qi Gong can improve fatigue, sleep quality, and cognitive function in cancer survivors (Myers et al., 2019Wayne et al., 2018). Other reports also suggest that Qi Gong may also improve stress (Zeng et al., 2019).

What to Expect at a Session

Class begins with gentle warm-up exercises that include light bouncing, and tapping and cupping energy points in the body to stimulate energy flow and prepare the body for the session. The warm-up is followed by approximately 30 minutes of mindful movement practice, which can be done in a standing or seated position. Class concludes with a guided meditation.
