Qigong ('Chi Kung") is one of the oldest exercises in Chinese history, dating back over 1,000 years. Many believe it has near-magical power to transform your mental and physical health.

Qigong uses a variety of easy-to-learn breathing and meditative exercises to strengthen you qi ("chi"), the life energy within you. The stronger your qi, the healthier you are.

According to ancient Chinese philosophy, all things in the universe are made up of five elements: wood, fire, earth, metal and water. these elements all have different properties: earth nurtures all living things, water irrigates the earth, metal is sharp, wood grows and fire is hot. While one evolves from another, they also negate each other. For example, wood gives life to fire - but water quenches it. These five elements also represent the five major organs in your body.

The 5 Element Qigong helps you keep the elements in harmony, and is remarkably effective in promoting relaxation, mental concentration, health and fitness.

This video will teach you the 5 Element Qigong, step-by-step. you'll also learn warm up, washing qi (wind down) exercises - and a bonus demonstration of the Sun Style Tai Chi Forms.
