Qigong is the foundation to Tai Chi. It is relatively simpler than Tai Chi and has more healing than Tai Chi.

Qigong includes dynamic and static forms.

Zhineng Qigong emphasises a moving meditation rather than static meditation. It uses the consciousness, body, breath, sound vibrations and the universal Qi (energy) to initiate positive transformation within the body, mind and spirit.

Regular practice can improve your health, immune system, spine, pelvic floor muscles, core strength, serenity, relaxation and inner joy.

Beginners classes start from 29 Jan Wed. and 30 Jan Thu. (school term).
