Qigong (also written as chi kung) is an ancient Chinese healing art that combines gentle movement, breathing, and a meditative state of mind. Practiced correctly for just 15 minutes a day, it can improve health, build vitality, and support the body, mind, and spirit together.
Qigong15 is a free resource built by Marcus Santer — a qigong teacher with over 25 years of practice, trained under 4th Generation Grandmaster Wong Kiew Kit, and author of three books on qigong. Everything here is practical, jargon-free, and based on direct experience.

Why 15 Minutes?
The name Qigong15 reflects a core principle: when practiced correctly, 15 minutes of qigong a day is enough to get and stay healthy. You don’t need hours of practice, specialist equipment, or prior fitness. Qigong requires virtually zero athleticism and can be practiced almost anywhere — at any age, at any level.
