Qigong History

Qigong was created in Asia thousands of years ago, as a healing art which incorporates what we now know as martial arts, yoga, tai chi, acupuncture, acupressure, meditation, and Chinese medicine. It’s a great addition to your self-care routines, providing a calming yet energizing, low-impact-workout, great for any age, any ability, anyone who is anxious to maintain or improve their health.
