Yi Jin Jing Qigong is an ancient Chinese exercise system that combines deep stretching, twisting, and breathing techniques to promote flexibility, relaxation, and overall wellbeing. Learn to mindfully move through each posture, unwinding tightness and enhancing energy flow. This rejuvenating practice cultivates balance, body awareness, and a calm mind.
“Twisting Dragon” exercise focuses on gentle spinal twists and coordinated breathing to release tension. “Jumping” is invigorating and strengthens your core. It also strengthens your feet and ankles.
The “Ape Descends the Mountain” movement is a dynamic and vigorous exercise that builds lower body strength, stamina, and flexibility. It’s also great for balance. It’s beautiful and fun to perform. There’s a flow of gracefulness and power to it.
This exercise can be practiced either by stepping down smoothly or by adding an explosive leap, engaging the core and legs. Though more intense than typical Qigong forms, “Ape Descends the Mountain” serves an important purpose – developing physical resilience to prepare for intense meditation and martial arts training.
