Qigong (pronounced "chee-gung") is a mind-body practice that originated in China more than 4,000 years ago. It involves a series of gentle movements, breathing techniques, and meditation that aim to balance the flow of energy, or "qi" (pronounced "chee"), in the body.

There are many different types of qigong, but they all share the same goal of improving the circulation of qi in the body. This is believed to promote physical and mental health, boost the immune system, reduce stress and anxiety, and increase energy levels.

Qigong is often used as a complementary therapy for various health conditions, such as hypertension, chronic pain, and depression. It can be practiced by people of all ages and fitness levels, and can be adapted to suit individual needs and abilities.
