Qigong Taught by Grandmaster Chian Ho Yin English Edition

Qigong is a health exercise which coordinates deep breathing with slow movements. Long ago, Chinese people created these health methods and passed them on to their descendants. Currently, many styles of Qigong are found throughout the world. You can practice Qigong anytime and anywhere because it does not require much time or space. You can also practice Qigong by yourself because it is simple and easy. A teacher is helpful but not required. The benefits of practicing Qigong include: 1) increased self-healing power, immunological response, and resistance to disease, 2) stress reduction and calming of your mind through moving meditation, 3) increased physical strength and improvements to your posture, balance, and flexibility, 4) development of physical, mental, and spiritual wellness.
