Qigong
Qigong is a Chinese mind-body practice that coordinates slow movement, breathing and focused attention to cultivate qi, a person's vital energy; it is related to tai chi and widely practiced for vitality and calm.
How it works
Practice consists of simple, repeated movements and standing postures done slowly with relaxed breathing and attention on the body's center. Even ten to fifteen minutes a day builds balance, relaxed focus and the ability to return to a centered state.
Who it's for
People of any fitness level who want a gentle daily practice, and leaders who spend most of their day in their heads. It needs no equipment and works indoors or outdoors.
