Qi Gong combines breathing techniques, stretching, postures, tension, relaxation and self-massage to bring the mind and body to a higher state of well-being. The Taoist origin of Qi Gong is called Dao Yin (pushing and pulling energy), practiced in a spiritual context for healing, self-cultivation and to unite us with the Tao.
