Every exercise belongs to one category. Use the **Categories** filter in the
Exercise tab to focus on one type of practice.

| Category | Typical use |
| --- | --- |
| **Tai Chi** | Flowing forms and movement sequences |
| **Qigong** | Energy-cultivation exercises, often gentle and repetitive |
| **Balance** | Standing stability and weight-shifting work |
| **Breathing** | Breathwork and breath-focused practice |
| **Meditation** | Still, seated or standing awareness practice |
| **Warm Up** | Short openers to do before a longer session |
| **Cool Down** | Gentle closers to finish a session |

## Breathing exercises

Breathwork lives in the **Breathing** category. Filter to it to see all
breath-focused exercises, then play one like any other exercise — it's logged as
a session and counts toward your goals and streak.

If you want a daily breathing habit, create a **Daily Practice** goal and give it
a breathing focus — see [Creating a goal](../goals-progress/create-a-goal.md).

## Building a themed session

Combine a Warm Up, a main Tai Chi or Qigong exercise, and a Cool Down into one
**series** so you can run the whole thing back-to-back. See
[Creating a series](../series/create-and-edit-a-series.md).
