Exercise is important for both aerobic and anaerobic
fitness. Oriental medicine recognizes the importance of
exercise to maintain the flow of qi and blood within the
body. Incorrect exercise can strain muscles and damage soft
tissue so it is important to undertake any exercise routine
with care.
Meridian Stretches are a wonderful series of stretches
that stimulate each of the energy channels of the body.
The benefits of regularly practicing Yoga and/or Qi Gong are immeasurable.
Qi Gong means energy skill and is an ancient Chinese
discipline that incorporates some mind work, breathing techniques,
different movements, postures and meditation to enhance
the flow of energy through the body. It is a comprehensive
approach to health, wellbeing and longevity and is effective
for improving personal fitness, enhancing performance and
creating a sense of inner peace.
