Dissimilar from the usual exercise programs, Qui gong in Reston, VA creates an awareness of the other dimensions of our being. Most exercises do not involve the meridian system used in acupuncture, nor do they emphasize the significance of adding mind intent and breathing techniques to physical movements. The benefits of any exercise program are increased dramatically when such dimensions are considered.

The gentle, rhythmic movements of Qui gong reduce stress, build stamina, increase vitality and strengthen the immune system. Additionally, it improves cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, circulatory and even lymphatic functions.

Interestingly, those who regularly practice Qui gong regain youthful vitality, maintain health and even improve their capacity to recover from illness. Western scientific research verifies that Qui gong reduces hypertension and the incidence of falling in the aged population. One of the more significant long-term effects is that Qui gong re-establishes the body/mind/soul relationship.

When these three elements of our being are aligned, it promotes a positive outlook on life and helps erase harmful attitudes and behaviors. A balanced lifestyle is also encouraged with Qui gong in Reston, VA, as demonstrated in greater harmony, stability and enjoyment.
