Thursdays at 4:15 PM
Chi Kung are graceful, health-giving exercises practiced daily by millions of
Chinese, young and old alike. For centuries Chinese people have practiced the
life enhancing traditional movements of Chi Kung and today millions more around
the world are joining them.
The movements have a slow-motion, dance-like quality that hides their true
power. Chi Kung is an internal art with emphasis on gathering, storing and
moving internal chi energy. Through the gradual building of one's inner
energy, known as chi, one discovers healing power and how to direct the flow of
this energy.
Chi Kung is a movement and breathing system that exercises all the joints and
muscle groups of the body while circulating internal “chi” energy. This
ancient Chinese exercises can be performed by people of all ages, abilities and
health conditions.
