Introduction to Qigong

This Five Day Challenge is an introduction to the basics of qigong. Research has shown that qigong (and taichi) has been shown to:

  • Improve cognitive function
  • Reduce stress
  • Improve sleep


These qigong exercises are here to help you calm the mind and ground yourself during times of crises.

During protests and pandemics, life gets incredibly stressful. The thing that you can do most for yourself is find a way to decrease stress, anxiety and increase your immunity. That is why, as we are seeing this scale of racial inequality, financial loss and emotional stress, qigong is an important element that you can add to your day.

I will be teaching these simple qigong exercises as an easy way for you to be grounded during these uncertain times. I look forward to seeing how you all progress to feeling more connected to yourself and your body!

What Our Students Are Saying

Excellent Teacher!

Chris Goddin

Dr Khanita is an excellent qigong teacher. It feels like she takes the time to really teach you the correct form and the WHY behind each movement. Love it. Highly recommended!

5 Day Challenge Helped

Ms Dianne A. Allen

I'm excited about Dr. Khanita's new course. The 5 Day Challenge has helped me. I had to do a few days over and over to get the breathing down. I am not the most coordinated person in these types of things but I find her instruction and guidance very helpful. This new course promises to be amazing and I am excited to be part of Dr. Khanita's community.

Centered and Relaxed

Jeanette Davison

Khanita is a really great teacher and I recommend that everybody try her qigong course. She has a calm way of explaining the movements and I feel that the 5 day challenge has really helped me feel centered and relaxed.
