What Is Qigong?
Qigong is a form of exercise that comes out of China. It involves moving with the breath in a way that helps you build energy in the body and cultivate a calm, meditative state of mind.
It gently stretches and tones the body, while working the cardiovascular system, without the risks of other forms of exercise.
It can be done anywhere, and the movements are simple and easy to learn.
Studies show that Qigong has been shown to help people:
- Improve sleep
- Improve strength, flexibility, and cardiovascular health
- Reduce stress, anxiety, and improve mood and mental health
- Strengthen the bones
- Strengthen the immune system
- Improve energy levels
- Improve cognitive functioning
- Prevent, reverse, or reduce the symptoms of many age-related diseases, such as Diabetes, Osteoporosis, COPD, Arthritis, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and more
