Qi Gong

QI GONG This pricing is for a one-hour private lesson. Typically we start with one hour, covering some theory, warm-up, and then some basic qi gong movements of a form. Each subsequent lesson is a half-hour at $50, adding another exercise to the practice. Group lessons are offered periodically.

Also known as Chi Gong or Qi Gung, can be defined as the art of Qi cultivation. It is a Chinese system of gentle exercises, breathing and meditation that increases our body’s supply of healing energy – Chi or Qi – enhancing overall vitality, as well as developing a clear and peaceful state of mind.  Qigong is a combination of self-healing exercises as well as meditation. There are two major subsets of Qigong: Dynamic or moving Qigong (dong gong); and Quiescent or meditative Qigong (Jing Gong). Within the two subsets, there are the three branches of Qigong practice: Medical, Martial and Spiritual. All three are practiced at Chi Longevity Center.
