QI GONG FLOW or Tai Chi
anyone else do these??
I just started QI GONG and it is awesome!!!
I do it before I go to bed and I am centered and have a
great nights sleep....
I am trying to find a yoga class to.
I went to one class and it was unbelievable..
These centering and calming workouts are really
very different.....
Its all about the breathing

So what do you do???

1. I started practicing Soaring Crane qigong after I was diagnosed with cancer.
I found that it relaxed me quite a bit. I've also really enjoyed the classes offered here at Cancer Lifeline.

I've been studying yoga for years and I think that if you enjoy and benefit from qigong, you would like yoga as well. :hi:

9. For best results
stick with one form.
Using more than one type of energy cultivation practices can create conflicting qi movement.

Myself,I do the falun gong cultivation exercises.

10. I've been thinking of trying it
a place near me offers it, unfortunately its on the night I usually go to the climbing gym. Hopefully they'll offer it on some other nights.

11. My mom has recently become a huge fan of tai chi
she loves that it's improving her balance and how it relaxes and grounds her at the same time.

Me, I'm more into the cardio scene. I do cycling, although I do love some good yoga stretching afterwards.

:hi:
