Eight Strands of Brocade Qigong Online Tuition

Eight Strands of Brocade Qigong (Ba Duan Jin) is one of the oldest Qigong styles, dating back over 3,000 years. It is a dynamic set of eight special exercises, gentle but firm, done with natural breathing and concentration, that promotes the flow of chi and blood, stretches the muscles, strengthens the joints and bones, improves coordination, flexibility, circulation, and is beneficial to all systems and organs – central nerve system, digestive system, respiratory system, urinary tract…
To the onlooker it may appear that the practitioner is stretching his/her limbs, bending and twisting their body but in reality every observed physical action is an attempt to favour the flow of chi in particular meridians. Thus the whole set is designed to rebalance all meridians and benefit all organs. Uniqueness of this style is its stress on simplicity, repetition, relaxation, rhythm and harmony.
