"I’ve been practicing qigong online for years and was thrilled to find Effortless Qigong. Jared provides just the right amount of direction and leaves just the right amount of silence that allows me to sink deep into a meditative practice. Effortless qigong is the most thorough and well-paced practice I have come across on the internet. It has helped make my little corner of the world a more intentional and peaceful place. I can’t say enough good things."

-Kevin Donahue, Qigong Student

""I have really enjoyed your videos they are inspirational. This has been a life-changing process. I highly recommend for anybody struggling with mental, physical or emotional circumstances. This is a game changer!""

-Michelle Locke, Qigong Student

""I have been dealing with some ongoing pain that my chiropractor is pretty sure is adrenal fatigue. I have recently been through a tough emotional time with my son recovering from a brain tumor and now that things have settled down the pain from stress is kicking in. There has been difficulty moving forward. A friend told me about Qigong, not this channel, but that it helped her. I stumbled upon your channel and it has helped immensely. Getting my blood flowing and doing the relaxed breathing is what I need! Thanks so much!"

-Lori Williams, Qigong Student

Frequently asked questions

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.

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.

While Qigong, Tai Chi, and yoga share similarities, they are distinct practices with unique focuses:

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

Jared teaches Holden Qigong, a modern, accessible approach to this ancient practice developed by Lee Holden. 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.
