Qigong in the Workplace The official use of Qigong and Taiji (Taiji) in the workplaces and schools in China was one of the positive results of China's tragic revolutionary period between the 1940's and the 1970's. Many factories take several breaks during the workday to practice Qigong.
One of my favorite Qigong institutes in Hangzhou is like a spa where workers come to do professional training, have a retreat and learn to practice Qigong. It is named "Nine Clouds Mountain". This is a part of their job description, not a vacation.
The Chinese have known for centuries that the daily practice of self-improvement methods sustains health, eliminates injuries and enhances productivity. Qigong is the official tool for wellness in the workplace and many factories have Qigong instructors on staff to help to refine the employees (called workers) practice skill.
