Who Should Not Practise Qi Gong?

Who Should Not Practise Qi Gong? answered by the Bright Beings Academy

Most people can practise Qi Gong safely, but some individuals may need to take extra care or seek guidance before beginning.

If you have a serious medical condition, are recovering from surgery, or are experiencing ongoing pain, it is important to check with a healthcare professional before starting.

Qi Gong is gentle, but your body may still need specific support.

People who feel very unwell, extremely fatigued, or emotionally overwhelmed may also benefit from starting slowly or practising with guidance.

Qi Gong is not about pushing through discomfort. It is about listening to your body and adapting the practice to meet your current state. With the right approach, it can be safe and supportive for most people.
