Qigong, pronounced “chi gong,” was developed in China thousands of years ago as part of traditional Chinese medicine. It involves using exercises to optimize energy within the body, mind, and spirit, with the goal of improving and maintaining health and well-being.

Spring Forest Qigong is a revolutionary and modernized form of traditional Qigong that has been highly effective in healing. It is based on the belief that living a healthy and happy life is something that should be experienced by everyone, and that the moment you choose to move your energy your transformation of a better life begins.

The harmonious balance of ‘the five elements’ are key components of a healthy life. In Chinese philosophy the Five Elements of Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water are the five basic aspects of Qi, or life energy. These five elements are interconnected and interdependent.

Like all forms of energy, all forms of Qi, the energy of the five elements are constantly in the process of transformation: The energy of each element is more prominent or less prominent in seasonal and daily cycles. Each element is also more strongly connected with specific organs and energy channels in the body.

Qigong is known to significantly improve symptoms of fatigue and sleep quality and has positive effects on anxiety, stress, depressive symptoms, and overall quality of life.

Comfortable clothing that you are able to move in easily is recommended. No experience necessary. Come as you are.
