Qigong at Sangha Yoga Center Zillertal

In traditional qigong teachings, students learn physical movements coordinated with breathing techniques. They practice a series of exercises until each movement or posture is perfected. Once they have learned the form, the next step is to find the subtle flow or fluctuation of energy within the postures, movements, breathing patterns and transitions. Qi is the Chinese word for "life or vital energy" that flows through every living thing. Gong translates as "work" or "ability" or "advantage acquired through perseverance and practice." Together, the two words mean "ability or mastery of working with life energy" - this is cultivating) and accumulating an abundant flow of energy through practice.
