Qi (chi) is the Chinese word for energy. For over 1,500 years, Shaolin monks have understood the power of the mind and body when one’s Qi is in balance. Qigong is the practice of centering one’s energy through breathwork and movement.

In today’s busy world, people spend long hours at their desks, computers, doing housework, playing video games, and even sports. Doing these activities for prolonged periods of time creates pain, stiffness, and can damage bones and ligaments.  These conditions can also affect our mental health and may cause insomnia, depression, stress, and anxiety.

Through a series of video lessons, New Qi (pronounced “chi”) introduces Shaolin Master Shi Yanxu’s extensive knowledge of authentic kung fu, Qigong health, and Zen meditation to the Western world. To nourish one’s life, one must nurture one’s Qi or energy. Cultivating Qi helps promote vitality, wellness, and longevity.

Through precise Qigong movements and breathing techniques, Master Shi Yanxu will show you how to activate your Qi to develop positive energy and a sense of calm and well-being.
