Of all the physical activities you can find in Madrid to spend your time and improve your well-being, Qi Gong is perhaps the most fascinating.

Also commonly known as Chi Kung, this traditional Chinese practice combines body posture, slow flowing movements and meditation to achieve a state of harmony and balance the Chi, believed in ancient cultures to be an energy present in all living things.  According to those beliefs, Qi Gong helps unlock human potential by stimulating higher awareness and connecting us with our true nature.
