Sunrise Qigong | Do this every morning | Wudang Wuxing Qigong at Playa Langosta, Costa Rica 武当五形气功 

This is the Wudang Qigong form taught by Master Yuan Xiu Gang at his school in China. It is called Five Animals Qigong (Wǔ xíng qìgōng) and in Chinese it is written - 武当五形气功。This is filmed in Costa Rica at Playa Langosta at sunrise.
This is the perfect morning routine to do just when you wake up. The stretching and deep breathing will energize you for the rest of your day.
When training Qigong, focus on the stillness during each pose and breathe deeply to the belly (dantian) with diaphragm breathing. At the end of each pose, be still and breathe deeply examining your body for any tension that still exists and focus on relaxing that area.
This is the best time to focus on yourself and by concentrating only on the movements, you can push all of your stressful thoughts away. Allow yourself to focus strictly on your body and let your mind relax and rest.
Feel free to follow along with the movements. When practicing on your own, try to do it 3 times on each side and breathe deeply 3 to 5 times when the posture is still during the movement and between each animal movement.
