Tai Chi / Qi Gong

Qi Gong, and its younger sibling Tai Chi, have been used to explore the essence of life and to increase vitality, longevity, and inner peace.  According to the scientists and philosophers of ancient China, underlying everything in our existence is a primary force which creates and sustains life. This essential resource, is called Qi (Chi pronounced chee). Qi Gong, the art of cultivating and harmonizing this life force, has been affectionately dubbed the grandmother of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
