Ba Duan Jin, also known as the 8 Pieces of Brocade, is one of the most widely practiced forms of Qi Gong.
Through eight gentle movements coordinated with mindful breathing, the practice is designed to encourage the smooth flow of Qi throughout the body while supporting balance, flexibility, mobility, and a greater sense of calm.
In this self-paced course, Master JianFeng Chen guides you step by step through the complete Ba Duan Jin practice, helping you understand not only how to perform each movement, but the traditional principles behind it.
