Description

The Embroidered Brocade Qigong

These Qigong have huge depth and, with some of them, we can work with a variety of Qi flows and qualities. They are well worth exploring.

Although having similar names, the Embroidered Brocade Qigong and the Eight Pieces of Brocade (AKA the Ba Duan Jin) are two entirely different sets. The Embroidered Brocade is a set of seven Qigong exercises, namely: Folding Over, the Circle of Light, the Billowing Sail, the Sun and the Moon, the White Crane, the Snake, and the Taiji Walk.
