Eight Silk Brocades Qigong From A Daoist Perspective

Sally Chang teaches the Eight Silk Brocades Qigong from a Daoist Perspective. One of the oldest and most influential Qigong forms still practiced today, this moving meditation will include the internal cultivation and health aspects of the form, and how to move through the dynamic Dan Tian as a longevity practice for body, mind, and spirit. 

Foundations of alignment and integration of movement through the whole body distributes labor and conserves energy. For health practitioners, the form in part or whole can be taught to patients as active self-care, and is adaptable for different postures, such as seated and standing. Strengthens and tones the body and Qi while calming and focusing the mind.
