Traditional Chinese Therapeutic Exercise
A simplified four-week course with Emilio Gonzalez and George Wedemeyer.

What is Qigong?

Qigong, (pronounced "Chee gong") is one of the essential, healing components of Traditional Chinese Medicine. It consists of slow, simple exercise routines that are easy to learn. The rounded postures, gentle movements and deep breathing can easily be practiced by people of all ages, the healthy and the infirm.

Unlike some forms of healing therapies where the individual is often a passive patient, Qigong requires that one actively participate in their own healing.

Likewise, healers and practitioners of massage, body-work, acupuncture and other healing arts can replenish and refresh their often depleted energy (Chi) with only a few minutes of Qigong each day.
