Taichi 太极拳 and Qigong 气功 aim to nourish Qi/essence and balance yin/yang. Throughout Chinese History, Qigong has been an integral part of cultivating life 养生 in order to live a well-balanced long life. The Traditional Chinese concept of cultivating life differs dramatically from the modern physical exercises: integrating deep breathing techniques, gentle moving with inner peace, stretching muscle and tendon, and balancing on lower extremities. Each form can be practiced at different intensity and even different postures according to individual preference.
