Swimming Dragon Qigong for Strength, Flexibility & Healthy Spine - TCM Preventative Physical Therapy

Swimming Dragon Qigong is for Strength, Flexibility & a Healthy Spine. We mimic the dragon through coiling, twisting, stretching, and opposing force motions in order to develop resiliency - a harmony of strength and flexibility, as my teacher Lee Holden would say - throughout the body and mind. This style of Qigong is a little bit like Yoga, except you never have to put your weight on your hands.
This flow was filmed next to the gorgeous Payette River about 2 hours north of Boise Idaho. Unfortunately my lights weren't strong enough to illuminate me against the backdrop, so I had to increase the exposure so you could see me, which means you can't see this beautiful river very clearly. I've finally caved and ordered a very expensive heavy duty portable light, so I will not be putting any scenery like this to waste again!

Just found you while looking for pa kau forms in practice to help with a putting pictures from a book in motion. Interested in sharing knowledge if you are. Taken parts out of many books over the years, practiced and felt it. Noticed your bare feet and see you may know things. They say those who know don't speak and those who speak don't know. The Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal one. I apologize for my forward nature in this, but you know who you are. Thank you for helping others to find their own way. Keep those bones breathing.
