Ba Duan Jin on Zoom
Ba Duan Jin on Zoom
The Eight Pieces of Brocade / Ba Duan Jin is a popular Qi Gong routine and will return into our Friday morning Qigong class in January 2024. With eight signature postures that nourish, mobilise and strengthen the body, settle the heart-mind and calm through breath work. Open to new beginner students with zero experience and any level of student looking to refresh their form. The routine is easy to learn and a great introduction to Qi Gong as a health preservation exercise system. Join our live stream classes on Zoom in January 2024 to learn the complete routine. Study the choreography and body alignment of each posture, learn how to move slowly and gracefully, and how to coordinate with deep abdominal breathing.
