Potential Health Benefits of Qi-Acise
Overview
The health benefits of Qi-Acise are similar to those gained from practicing other mind/body programs such as Qigong, Tai Chi, and Yoga, along with modern fitness disciplines such as aerobics and strength training. Qi-Acise blends thousands of years of proven wellness concepts and techniques into one comprehensive fitness system.
Qi-Acise practitioners have reported benefits to both the mind and the body as a result of this program, including (but not limited to):
- Improved clarity of mind
- Improved breathing (even in some asthma patients) and lung capacity
- Increased range of motion
- Improved posture
- Increased relaxation
- Decreased muscle tension (especially in the neck & shoulder)
- Reduced feelings of stress
- Improved muscle tone and strength (especially in the lower body)
- Better balance

Qi-Acise, like Qigong, Tai Chi, and Yoga, has a strong emphasis on deep, diaphragmatic breathing. Research has shown that this type of breathing can lead to many health benefits, including (but not limited to):
- Reduced Tension
- Increase Stamina & Endurance
- Lowered Blood Pressure
- Reduced Fatigue
- Improved Sleep
- Diminished Constipation
- Enhanced Memory
- Elevated Mood

- Increased Libido
- Relieved Pain
