Most western exercises are designed to build muscle strength, flexibility, or aerobic fitness. These simple Chinese exercises build health and longevity by increasing the openness and functionality of muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints, the spine, internal organs, glands, and meridian pathways. They are drawn from many Chinese sources, including An Mo Dao Yin, Er Shi Duan Jin, Yang Shen Gong, Pai Da Gong, simple Qigongs, Daoist Yoga, and more.

Some of the exercises focus on a specific part of the body, while others influence the entire body at once. You’ll be introduced to ways of selecting the exercises prescriptively, best addressing your personal health goals, or those of your patients. Some theory will be included, giving you a better understanding of how each exercise works, and of how an exercise may enhance any qigong or taiji practice you may currently have.
