What is Qigong, and how does it work?
Qigong (pronounced "chee-gong") is a gentle practice that uses flowing movements, deep breathing, and mindfulness to improve your health and energy. The style I teach includes stretching, self-massage, and warm-ups to prepare the body and mind for relaxation and balance.
The word "Qigong" means To work with energy and the practice focuses on improving the flow of your body’s natural energy, or "Qi" (pronounced "chee"). Through simple movements, like stretches and slow, mindful exercises, combined with deep breathing, Qigong helps reduce stress, improve flexibility, and support your body’s natural healing.
Qigong is suitable for all levels, and it’s an easy way to feel calmer, more energized, and more in tune with yourself—no special equipment or experience needed.
What Are the Benefits of Practicing Qigong?
Qigong has been practiced for centuries to bring balance, calm, and renewed vitality into daily life. Many people who practice regularly report:
Feeling more relaxed and centered in mind and body
Greater resilience to everyday stress
Improved sense of energy and vitality
Gentle movement that supports flexibility and circulation
A calmer, clearer state of mind
An overall feeling of balance and wellbeing
Qigong is a wellness practice designed to support your lifestyle and personal growth. Results vary by individual and are not a substitute for professional medical care.
How Is Qigong Different from Tai Chi or Yoga?
While Qigong, Tai Chi, and yoga share similarities, they are distinct practices with unique focuses:
Qigong:
Focuses on cultivating and balancing the body’s energy (Qi) through simple, flowing movements, deep breathing, and mindfulness.
Often includes self-massage, gentle stretching, and warm-ups.
It is accessible for all fitness levels and can be practiced standing, sitting, or even lying down.
Tai Chi:
A martial art that incorporates slow, deliberate movements designed for defense training, health, and meditation.
It has set forms (specific sequences of movements) and emphasizes balance, coordination, and internal energy flow.
Tai Chi is often seen as a specific branch of Qigong, but it has a stronger martial arts focus.
Yoga:
Originates from India and combines physical postures (asanas), breath control (pranayama), and meditation.
Focuses on flexibility, strength, and union of mind, body, and spirit.
Typically involves holding poses and can be more physically demanding than Qigong or Tai Chi.
In summary, Qigong is simpler and more accessible than Tai Chi or yoga, focusing on energy cultivation and relaxation rather than martial arts or strength-building poses. It’s an excellent practice for stress relief, energy enhancement, and overall well-being.
What Style of Qigong Does Jared Teach?

This style blends traditional Chinese Qigong with practical applications for modern life, focusing on energy cultivation, breathwork, flowing movements, and mindfulness to enhance vitality, reduce stress, and improve overall well-being.
