Eight Silken Movements Qigong (Baduanjin) Workshop

August 23, 2015, @ 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm HST

$25 – $75

With Bruno Ballestrero

If you had just 10-15 minutes a day to increase your vitality and sense greater calm, this ancient form of qigong would be the perfect choice. The simplicity, brevity and effectiveness of Baduanjin qigong, also known as Eight Silken Movements or Eight-Pieces of Brocade qigong, make this one of the most popular forms of qigong in the world. This holistic practice coordinates breath, movement and intention (mind). Baduanjin qigong is both simple and subtle in its approach. The external benefits include joint mobility, muscle toning and flexibility. The internal benefits include increased circulation in the organs and along the meridians. Modern studies of this 1,000 year-old form of Chinese therapeutics suggest that Baduanjin qigong helps to prevent bone loss and alleviate clinical depression.

No prior experience necessary. This workshop will introduce newcomers to this Qigong form and give a chance for review to those who attended the July 26 workshop.
