Qigong (pronounced Chee Gung) are Chinese yogic like exercises involving specific movements and breathing methods for health and longevity. Qi 氣 is often translated as “life force”, “energy” or “breath”. The character itself is made up of two radicals, one for rice and one for steam (both representing our two primary sources of energy, the food we eat and the air we breath). Gong 功 can be translated as “cultivation”, “awareness”, or “force / power”. Qigong 戚 功 is therefore the practice and philosophy of cultivating one’s Qi through breath work.
Currently Qigong tuition is available in either private one on one or two person groups. David teaches two forms of Qigong, one called Dao-yin and the other named Baduanjin. Both are briefly described below:
