effectively throughout the body.
Why is energy flow essential? Eastern medicine views the body as an
integral system, in which each part affects the whole. Disease originatesfrom disharmony, a blockage or imbalance in the flow of energy through

our bodies, that festers and produces symptoms. Treating symptoms
alone proves ineffective because such treatment dose not restore
equilibrium in the body. All systems need to work in harmony in order
for us to flourish. By stimulating the right pathways and removing
blockages, Qi Gong regenerates a healthy energy flow, and helps nourishand heal our entire being.

Qi Gong regulates breath, body, and mind. It supports the immune
system, strengthens the body, and encourages hormone production,
keeping us young, vital and supple.
The benefits extend far beyond our physical health. Through Qi Gong, welearn how to utilize our energy efficiently, take responsibility for our life

routine.
