World Tai Chi and Qigong Day

World Tai Chi and Qigong Day introduces Chinese practices that combine flowing movement with attention to breathing and posture. Open sessions give curious newcomers a chance to join in without having to know a sequence beforehand.

How it is celebrated: instructors and local groups gather in parks and public squares for demonstrations, introductory lessons and shared practice.

The customary starting time is 10 a.m. locally. As each time zone reaches that hour, another gathering begins, creating a rolling wave of movement around the world.
