Qigong is a traditional Chinese medicine mind-body practice that offers many possible benefits, from improved immunity to stress reduction to enhanced fitness.
With the attention focused on health during the pandemic has come an increased emphasis on the importance of physical activity as a part of a daily routine. In "Why Tai Chi Is as Good for You as Crossfit," a Time magazine article published in 2017, Dr. Wayne, author of The Harvard Medical School Guide to Tai Chi writes, "It's like meditation on wheels. You're getting all the cognitive pieces you might get from meditation — mental clarity and focus and positive thoughts and lower stress — but you're also getting physical exercise."
You can do qigong anywhere, whether sitting, standing, or lying down. And yes, you can make time for it! Just two minutes of qigong here and there throughout the day can reduce stress and help with depression and anxiety. It also helps you manage chronic conditions and prevent illness, and it encourages healthy aging.
“Qigong creates functional changes within the body to produce the most profound medicine ever discovered,” says Roger Jahnke, a doctor of Oriental medicine and director of the Institute of Integral Qigong and Tai Chi, in Santa Barbara, CA. He’s the author of The Healing Promise of Qi: Creating Extraordinary Wellness Through Qigong and Tai Chi. For starters, qigong (qi for “life force” and gong for “practice”) mobilizes the blood and other body fluids, including those related to the lymphatic system, joints, brain, and spine. It also increases blood-vessel elasticity, so the heart pumps more easily.
“The blood carries in more oxygen and nutrition, and lymph more effectively flushes out toxic byproducts through the elimination system,” Dr. Jahnke explains. This, in turn, enhances the immune system, cell metabolism, and tissue regrowth. https://tasteforlife.com/conditions-wellness/stress-anxiety/reduce-stress-qigong

With a lifelong interest in health, fitness, movement and the mind-body connection, my studies have included yoga, tai chi, Feldenkrais and meditation. I discovered Qigong - a practice of energy cultivation that promotes optimal health, vitality and longevity in 2009 while on a healing journey from Lyme disease. It was the practice of Qigong that ultimately allowed me to fully heal and return to my active lifestyle - improving my immune system, energy level and overall physical and emotional wellbeing. I am a testament to the healing power of Qigong. Qigong’s powerful techniques of movement, breathing and mental focus can help anyone achieve and maintain better health, energy balance and with it higher levels of performance.
