Qigong
The Art of Cultivating Vital Energy
What is Qigong ?
Qigong is an ancient Chinese practice, rooted in Taoist and martial traditions, that aims to harmonize the body, mind, and breath.
Through gentle movements, mindful breathing, and deep concentration, Qigong promotes the circulation of Qi — vital energy — and fosters lasting inner calm. Practised for centuries for its benefits to health and emotional balance, Qigong releases tension, improves coordination, stimulates breathing and circulation, strengthens balance and flexibility, and develops refined, peaceful body awareness.
At Shanmai Martial Arts, we adapt each program to your needs — whether physical, mental, or energetic — so the practice integrates naturally into your daily life, at your own pace.
Qigong is not simply exercise: it is a path to greater vitality, mental clarity, and serenity. A subtle discipline, accessible to all, that transforms movement into energy and energy into balance.
