What is Qi Gong?
Inherent to the curriculum we teach, is the practice of Qi Gong. But what is it? Qi Gong, sometimes spelled as 'Chi Kung', is a form of 'Chinese Yoga'. It is a type of gentle, relaxing, meditative and healing practice for the body and mind. Qi Gong is very common in China, where people know it as a type of medicine. You can think of it as your own free health insurance, which is fun to practice, and that you can use to treat, and sometimes heal, a great deal of physical ailments and discomforts. In China and abroad, there are thousands of types of Qi Gong. The Qi Gong we teach, is a special and formerly secretive method called the 'Heavenly Shaped Qi Gong' (Tian Xing Qi Gong).

​
Can I learn Qi Gong?
Most certainly, you can! Any person between the ages of 18 - 80 can begin the study of Qi Gong at one of our Blue Jade schools, even if they suffer from some physical challenge or disability. As long as one can stand, squat down and freely move two arms and two legs for a few minutes, the study and practice of Qi Gong is possible. Granted, most people can learn it without trouble.
