Health Benefits
A single Qigong session or class has the profound ability to relieve tension and stress resulting in a deeper sense of calm and overall balance.
Qigong involves gentle movements, controlled breathing and meditation, all of which have all been shown to help lower stress and symptoms of anxiety.
Qigong movements are often slow and controlled. This helps to improve your proprioception, which is your awareness of your body in the space you are in; improving balance, muscular strength and flexibility.
Qigong offers many physical, mental and emotional health benefits. In many cases, participants will see benefits after just a few sessions or classes. Regular practice can strengthen the body and benefit all the major organ systems. According to many Western studies the benefits of Qigong include:
Reduced stress and anxiety
