Tai Chi Qigong forms are the self-care component of China’s age-old health care system. The word Qigong means “cultivating energy.”  Qigong is practiced for health maintenance, self-healing and increasing vitality. Qigong enhances the body’s innate anti-aging  capabilities. There are thousands of styles of Qigong practices including martial arts, medical, and religious/philosophy based forms. All styles have three things in common: physical postures, breathing techniques, and focused intention. Qigong methods are used to activate our body’s innate self-healing energy, what we call “The Healer Within”.

Stress is a major contributor to ill-health.
