Wu Qin Xi : Five Animals Qigong Exercises – Paperback

Taken together, and done properly, the movements described here comprise a system of exercise that emphasizes grace and strength. Each focuses on a different part of the body to coordinate breathing patterns with movement; each exercise is easy to do and quiets the mind as well as stabilizes the body. Includes full illustrations, instructions and explanations, including the important reasons why these exercises should be conducted together rather than “cafeteria style.” Safe for all age groups and very useful to those who practice Tai Chi and martial arts.
