Daoist Qigong and Dao Yin
Daoist Qi Gong and Dao Yin are internal practices that use both static (yin) and moving (Yang) postures to promote health, flexibility, and strength. The primal energies of Yin and Yang are then integrated with the Wuxing (5 elements). This manifold way evolves the art to a deeper understanding for the practitioner to harvest a lifelong cultivation that enfolds
within the practice itself.
With breath, motion, and intention, Qi Gong and Dao Yin enhances the jing (essence), refines qi (energy) and brings s
hen (spirit) force of all who practice.
Daoist yoga not only provides a development of acumen and character but gives the body, mind and spirit preparation for advanced practice in any movement art, thus being a great foundation or supplement to any training.
