What is Qigong?
Qigong is an ancient Chinese practise of breath and movement stretching back over 4,000 years. It’s simple to learn and can be done by everyone. There are over 3,000 different styles of Qigong which are mainly divided into three branches - martial, health and healing and spiritual.

Qigong is one of the most popular sports in the world, with over 80,000 people practicing daily, yet it's relatively unknown in the west. Every morning in parks throughout China you see people of all ages practising different styles of Qigong.

How is Qigong different to Yoga?
Qigong and yoga are similar, yet different. They are both ancient systems designed to help move energy through the body to improve health. Qigong is from China, yoga is from India. In fact they both have a shared ancestor - Tao Yin. Thousands of years ago, Indian yogis travelled to China and shared their wisdom with Chinese sages and Tao Yin was born. In Tao Yin many of the poses are similar to Yoga, yet they are done with flowing movement in time with the breath.

At Bliss Calm Qigong we begin with gentle warm ups and stretching, activating the energy system and releasing and letting go of tension and stress. Then we explore various flowing moves, like a moving meditation, to bring free flowing energy to the body. There is an emphasis on moving energy through the meridians and working on acupressure points for self healing.
