Five Flows Qigong Practice
In the Five Flows Qigong , I offer you a sensible, easy-to-understand series of foundational Qigong moves. The Five Flows Qigong set teaches principles you can apply to all of your life—principles of movement, posture, breath, and being. These essential principles are taught so you can practice with simplicity, physical ease, and fun.
