3 Common Qigong Mistakes That Ruin Your Knees 

You explained these hazards far better and more thoroughly than any tai chi or qi gong teacher I have had over the years. Thank you!

Thank you Nick for mentioning Ben Patrick!! I always hesitated to join his ATG training with my torn ACL but now I will try. Sad that he doesn't mention the chinese influence of his excercises..

So glad that you're addressing the Knee Issue. Your first video is very helpful and I'm heading for it now. This background information is really great for foundation . Thank you , Nick. Looking forward to the next installment !

Thank youuuuu! I sometimes have a feeling a little soreness on the inside of my knee, and I think it’s from hyperextending and rotating. Rotating from the qua from now on. Thank you!

Omg thank you I had to stop a certain qigong routine I was doing cuz I was getting knee pain

The cue to think of moving the butt backward while rooting (sinking) the tailbone down was very helpful for me, thank you. It really changed my whole practice and I can feel stability and strength growing in my glutes and inner thighs, which are typically weak and sleepy areas for me. Thanks so many millions.

Super helpful! I realize I’ve been doing some of the things you suggest not to and my firm has not been correct. 😊

Thanks for bringing attention to this important issue.

Thank you, Nick. This happened to me when I started Qi Gong and have managed to figure it out by listening and watching you. You are truly awesome! Thanks for this video. ❤🙏🏻

Excellent video. I'm new to gigong and have knee issues from years of yoga practice when in the beginning I wasn't given this kind of valuable instruction. I remember one time in particular when a teacher asked everyone to move into Gomukhasana (cow face pose) and as I moved my lower body into position I heard one of my knees pop. It was a painful, yet vitally important lesson. From then onwards I became a lot more mindful of what was happening in my body when practicing yoga and I haven't had any injuries since. Be gentle with your body and your body will thank you for this kindness many, many times over.

Thanks so much - absolutely love your videos; you are so clear

Hi Nick. Thank you for posting this useful video. I have some doubts regarding the feet position. In most Chinese practice videos I see that they keep their feet parallel, while on some other videos I see feet are often facing out. I have this doubt for a while wondering if the incorrect position might have an impact on the knees. Thank you for clarifying when you can.

Thanks Nick. This is excellent instruction. A mirror is a good idea, which I use on occasion, but now I have a few things to specifically watch out for.

I've been making the second mistake you mentioned while practicing fire element movement from 5 elements qigong😀😀😀 so grateful i didn't twist anything😂

Thank you!

Thank you Nick 🙏

Thank you Nick! Extremely important! I have found I cannot do those seated lifts in your roots video where you have one leg tucked in. 😔

Hi, Nick! I have watched the video, fortunately I don't do any of these mistakes because I always follow your instructions while practicing. Thank you for your awesome job! L., 67

Thanks so much, Nick, for this most important instruction regarding the knees.

How can I become a qi gong teacher? This has literally changed my life in a positive way 🙌

Thanks for this, it was easy to understand and something I need to be aware of 💜

Thanks great information

Excellent video!

Great information clearly and concisely presented, really deserves more views, unfortunate how youtube's algorithm prioritizes yoga porn videos over videos like this one that helps people!

Thank you! More like this please. Personally, when I do the flows, I think I'm too tight, like I'm trying to strength train instead of relaxing. Any tips for that? I actually found you and Qi Gong when Yoga started setting off hip pain. I like Qi Gong so much better!

Thank you! Sharing with my class!

Thank you for this great educational video!

Thanks for sharing Nick! Very helpful!

Thanks Nick, that was explained so well👌👌👌

After watching this video I realized that instead of knocking on a door of life I was knocking on a door of injury😂
