Tai Chi and Qigong (Chi Gong) are seperate, but related Chinese arts. While their origins are shrouded in Chinese lore and mystery, the benefits of these exercises have been recognized for centuries.

Both are movement meditations: both emphasize relaxed moving, deep breathing, body alignment, and flow.
