Why Do I Feel Tired After Qi Gong?

You may feel tired after Qi Gong because your body is releasing tension and shifting out of a more stressed or stimulated state.

Qi Gong helps calm the nervous system, and for some people this can feel like a drop in energy at first.

If your body has been running on stress or adrenaline, this slowing down can feel like tiredness as things begin to settle.

It can also be a sign that your body is adjusting, especially if you are new to the practice or have been holding a lot of physical or emotional tension.

This feeling usually passes as your system becomes more balanced. Rest, hydrate, and allow your body time to integrate the changes.
