Dao Yin Qi Gong

What is Qi Gong
Qi Gong (pronounced Chi Gong) is an ancient Chinese health exercise; its theories are based on the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine. There are numerous systems of Qi gong although the theory and aims of practice remain the same.
Longfei Tai Chi association teach a system called Dao Yin Yang Sheng Gong, invented by one of China foremost Masters Professor Zhang Guandge of Beijing Sports University.

Dao Yin Qi Gong combines traditional knowledge with modern medical theory, it is characterised by gentle twisting motions involving breath control, the stimulation of key acupressure points and mental development.. Its soft fluent and harmonious movements aim to improve energy circulation within the body, to loosen the joints, tone and oxygenate muscles and relax the nervous system.

Only in the last twenty to thirty years has Qi Gong practise grown in popularity in the west. The apparent simplicity of many of the postures and movements initially led to a dismissive attitude, but now the effectiveness of Qi Gong has been revealed and people of all ages are beginning to reap its rewards.

Qi Gong can be practised either as a discipline in its own right, or as a perfect complement to your Tai Chi training.
