Qi gong is an ancient Chinese practice that combines slow, flowing movements, deep breathing, and focused intention to cultivate and balance the body's "qi" or vital life energy. Often described as "meditation in motion," it's a low-impact exercise that can improve overall health, reduce stress, and promote a sense of calm and well-being.

Its movements are similar to tai chi , but it is easier to learn , it is a health based practice , not a martial art.

Qigong can help with anxiety by using gentle movements, deep breathing, and mindfulness to reduce stress and promote relaxation. This practice can help you focus on the present moment, which may decrease anxious thoughts. By combining coordinated body posture, breathing, and mental focus, Qigong can lead to a state of calmness and peace, and is considered an effective add-on therapy for anxiety.
