Yoga, as an ancient practice of enlightenment that includes the practice of physical postures, is similar to Qigong.
Yoga philosophy and practice originated in India and is steeped in Indian tradition and culture.
Qigong, on the other hand, is an ancient practice originating in China that retains teachings about life rooted in Taoist, Buddhist and Confucian philosophy.
When comparing the physical practice of Yoga and Qigong, you’ll find that while Yoga and Qigong include breathing and meditation practices, Yoga tends to focus on alignment, muscles and holding the postures, while Qigong concentrates more on the energy and flow of the movements.
