Qigong is a holistic system of coordinated body posture and movement, breathing, and meditation used for health, spirituality, and martial arts training. With roots in Chinese medicine, philosophy and martial arts, Qigong is traditionally viewed as a practice to cultivate and balance qi (pronounced: chi), translated as "life energy".

Unlike Tai Chi, Qigong can be practiced in standing or seated with relatively little space needed to perform the exercise, Qigong is also especially well suited for those with mobility issues.
