Qi Gong QiGong sessions at the Detox Retreat

Qigong is an ancient Chinese system of exercise and meditation that makes the mind and spirit tranquil, cultivates health, well-being, and long life. It has been practised for centuries by millions of Chinese people and is based on repetitions of very precise sets of movements, specifically designed to benefit health on many different levels.

Qi Gong is easy to learn and enjoyable to do. Even a few minutes of practise can have an invigorating and rejuvenating effect. Regular practise brings about a deep strengthening effect for the whole body and its various systems (nervous, digestive, respiratory, skeleto-muscular, hormonal, gynaecological, etc). Its ability to help in healing a large variety of chronic and acute injuries and illnesses has been the subject of various research programmes led by the Chinese medical authorities.

Dragons Breath Qi Gong The aim of Qi Gong is to promote the movement of Qi (energy) in the body; this is done by opening certain gates and stretching and twisting energy channels. A key point in Qi Gong practice is relaxation and deep breathing, both of which are prerequisites to allow Qi to flow.
