Qigong (pronounced “chi-gong”) blends gentle flowing movements, breath, body tapping, and meditation to help clear energy pathways and cultivate healthy “qi”—your natural life-force energy. When qi circulates freely and remains balanced, it supports harmony within the body and mind—promoting vitality, mental clarity, and inner peace.

​

Qigong developed thousands of years ago in ancient China. Savitri teaches from the Five Elements (Wu Xing) Qigong tradition, a branch of Traditional Chinese Medicine. This tradition recognizes that the same forces of nature that shape the seasons also move through us. Through exercises aligned with these natural rhythms, this style of Qigong supports physical health, emotional well-being, and spiritual connection.

​

Breathing is slow, long, and deep, and movements are gentle and smooth, encouraging relaxation and natural energy flow. No previous experience is required, and movements can be easily modified to support each participant.

​

Example: Spring & the Wood Element

​

Spring corresponds with the Wood element—a time of renewal, growth, and forward movement. Wood is associated with the liver and gallbladder and supports the health of joints, tendons, ligaments, and the eyes.

​

When Wood is out of balance, we may experience anger, frustration, or lack of direction.

​

When Wood is in harmony, these challenges transform into kindness, patience, clear vision, and skillful action.

​

Qigong is primarily a standing practice and can be easily adapted for spaces without mats or props, making it accessible for studios, workplaces, community groups, and many other settings.

Classes and events can be offered as an ongoing class, a seasonal series, or a one-time workshop or event designed around a specific theme relevant to your group’s needs.
