Chi Kung (also Qi Qong)
Chi Kung is a
very ancient system of Chinese exercise and has experienced
a significant revival over the past 20
years.
It
has also received a great deal of attention in cancer
therapy and had a number of successful clinical trials in
China.
The correct practice of Chi Kung requires a teacher who can
check the postures. However, once the basics have been
acquired the exercises are easy to practice and can be done
anywhere without any equipment. Requires daily practice and
commitment over a longer period of time.
