Free Lessons on Qigong Exercise

Looking for free qigong exercise? Here are a range of free lessons, with precise, detailed descriptions and easy step-by-step instructions.

Qigong (a.k.a. chi kung) lessons do not have to be expensive. Although there seems to be a growing "qigong industry" where commercial classes can range in tuition prices from $20 a lesson to several hundred dollars per qigong workshop—there are inexpensive classes that you can take and still get many of the benefits.

If you are interested in benefiting from qigong exercise but can't afford the pricey lessons, or if you don't want to pay the heavy price of taking commercial lessons without first trying them, try the following free qigong lessons below.

If you are new in qigong, I suggest that you start from the beginning and work your way through each exercise. These lessons are listed in sequential order of difficulty and prerequisites in each section. If you have a background in qigong, it would still be helpful to read over each exercise, because you can still benefit from building a better foundation.

Some things to remember when practicing these exercises:

Avoid overeating just before exercise. Also, avoid exercising immediately after a meal. A full stomach interferes with chi circulation.
Avoid drinking cold fluids during or immediately after practice for the same reason.
Avoid taking a shower immediately after practice for the same reason.
To realize full benefits of qigong exercise, you should practice regularly for a minimum of ten minutes each day. Try to practice the same time each day to establish a habit.
The best time for the circulation of chi is between five and seven o'clock in the morning and between eleven and one o'clock at night.
Do not rush the lessons. Listen to your body: do only as much as your body feels comfortable. If you experience too much fatigue or physical pain due to weak muscles, stop and rest. Like all physical exercise, you should not overdo. It takes time to make improvements.
Most importantly, remember to go slow: one new exercise per week is enough for you to benefit and progress quickly. Be aware, if you overdo and progress too quickly, there are potential side effects that can be dangerous to your health. Therefore, take your time in practicing these exercises, and do not continue to the next lesson until you feel you have fully mastered the first one.
