Chi kung
Zhan Zhuang (pronounce ‘tsjam tsjong’) is one of the most fundamental styles of chi kung. The name of this style can be freely translated into ‘standing like a tree’. Chi kung cultivates our vital energy by exercises that can bring back original movement, body posture and breathing. Zhan Zhuang is practiced in the natural possibilities of the body; mainly standing upright, but also in sitting position or lying down. Relaxation is the basis of this practice form. Therefore the training brings a combined development of strength and release.
