What Is Qigong?What does it do for me?? 

Qigong is an Ancient form of Chinese mind-body-spirit practice that has mental, energetic & physical health benefits. It's slow mindful movement helps with posture, balance, breathing and focus and  also includes meditation, self massage breathing practices all which assist with developing the "Life Energy" -Qi, Chi, or prana (all mean the same thing in different cultures.)
The repeated movements build proprioception  & awareness while increasing fluidity of movement.
Qigong has a Chinese medicine background working on the meridian theory to unblock and free these energy channels throughout the body which increases freedom of movement, good health and longevity.
There is a lot of supported modern research  done on the effects of this 5000 year old practise and people of the world are embracing this ancient knowledge. Some do it for it's relaxation, to self heal, for it's meditative effects, as exercise and some use it to move toward Tai Chi the Martial Arts side of Qigong.
