Why Qi Gong Works

Qi Gong works by combining gentle movement, breathwork, and focused intention to stimulate and balance the body's internal energy—called Qi in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). When Qi flows freely through the meridians (energy pathways), the body can heal, replenish, and function optimally.

From a Western perspective, Qi Gong may:

• Activate the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting rest and repair

• Increase oxygen intake and lymphatic flow through rhythmic, mindful movement

• Regulate stress hormones, lowering cortisol and reducing inflammation

• Improve proprioception, posture, and neuromuscular coordination

It’s a holistic, low-impact practice that supports both physical and emotional healing, making it a beautiful complement to acupuncture and other wellness therapies.
