Master Yang instructs and demonstrates "The Sitting Eight Pieces of Brocade", one of the most popular sets of Qigong (chi kung) healing exercises. This includes 20 minutes of follow-along exercise and then 40 minutes of detailed explanation. Performed while sitting on a chair or cushion, these gentle breathing, stretching and strengthening movements activate the Qi (chi) energy and blood circulation in your body, helping to stimulate your immune system, strengthen your internal organs, and give you abundant energy. Known in China as the Ba Duan Jin, this medical qigong has been practiced for over 1,000 years.
