This course introduces the principles and techniques of Qigong, focusing on self-improvement and the cultivation of energy and vitality in support of health and well-being. It may be of particular interest to practitioners of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), including acupuncturists, who wish to strengthen their own Qi and develop the ability to guide patients in simple Qigong practices (see Medical Qigong) as part of a broader therapeutic approach.
