The new and improved edition of Swimming Dragon Qigong! Improve strength, mobility, flexibility, balance, energy, and vitality with this Chi Kung & Dao Yoga routine. The "swimming dragon" is a Daoist metaphor for the movement of energy up the spine, typically coming from the "pearl" (Dan Tian) clutched by the "dragon". On a more practical note, this set of exercises is great for releasing stiffness and pain from the back, neck, hips, and spine.

Ok I see it now. It does look like a dragon in the background! (The rock) 🗿🐲

@humairaoreilly3262 Год назад

Another great routine by Nick. Much appreciated.

@evidhazelbower1527 6 месяцев назад

Having had a nice little release of my frozen shoulder this morning, this series was marvelous. An old friend , this Dragon. Thank you. And the Teacher Training is Fabulous ! !

@Lalalalalelo 2 года назад

I prefer this version over the first one: Concise, hits the important spine exercises, and narration done afterwards so that you focused on the exercises

@TheNickLoffree 2 года назад

Thank you!

@goozervanpancake 8 месяцев назад

Just when I needed a new Nick routine, I stumble upon this one. Many of the movements are familiar but this one brings a welcome energy and an opportunity to enter a bit deeper. I'm so glad to add this to my morning repertoire.

Oh Nick, you're spoiling us now, I love these active flows, reminds me of Power Yoga... Thank you so much for uploading this, Qigong King! 😉

@TheNickLoffree 2 года назад

Thanks!😊

@amybernard4638 Год назад

Much needed and it inspired a really wonderful idea! Thank you :)

@katelynde1537 Год назад

That was a lovely routine! I liked the specific cues for refining the swimming dragon. The river was mesmerizing!

@candeyer53 2 года назад

Always love this routine

@candeyer53 Год назад

Once again, a great routine. Had Covid last week. A relatively mild case. I succeeded in doing some qigong everyday despite being sick. I attribute my quick recover to both my 3-year-long qigong practice and the fact that I was able to maintain a baseline during the illness. Thanks for great routines, Nick.

@debbiecameron-davis5938 Год назад

Could this be the most beautiful Qigong routine on You Tube? I really believe that it is....the scenery is so perfect (and as mentioned below there is a dragon head in the rocks behind), perfect length of time, challenging and invigorating routine to return to often for longevity. Not to mention simple, easy to follow instruction. Thank you so much Nick for your dedication and all that you do for the Qigong community....

@evidhazelbower1527 2 года назад

This time, Twisting Dragon relieved a very persistant back spasm. I'm going to do it again, right now !

@user-zz4uc7lu4m Год назад

Thanks; I always enjoy your flows. I especially appreciated the longer silent standing meditation near the end.

@TonyFed Год назад

Yet another great class from Nick! Exactly what my spine needed to open up and release stuck energy!

@sigibomba Год назад

This is fantastic! you are really an inspiration. I had a most incedible meditation wail predticing this. And my spine really loves you.

@jo-josuds Год назад

I love this routine. Reminds me of a dance.

@carolellis894 Год назад

Thank you Nick, I sure enjoyed this version of Swimming Dragon, I enjoyed the subtle movements and attention to the different areas of the Spine! I also couldn't help but notice the Dragon Head in the rock behind you! Great practicre will definetely look into this again.

@bekkkaaaa 9 дней назад

I really enjoy being taken into the wild outdoors with these soothing yet energising routines. But as a novice, should hands touch and touch the body, when at rest over lower abdomen?

@hew195050 7 месяцев назад

I love how at the end it just disappears. Kinda like our lives when we transition.

@Toponut 2 года назад

Just discovered your channel recently and am really enjoying your videos... the timing feels right, not too rushed. I do have a question: when condensing / saving the chi to the lower dan tian I notice you only circle in one direction? Most reading I've done says to circle a number of times clockwise then a number of times counter-clockwise - is there a reason to only circle one direction?

@TheNickLoffree 2 года назад

Yes, circling clockwise follows the flow of the larger intestine 😊

Hi, guestion: is this a jin exercise? Two years ago I lost so much jin, up to zero, and found myself in a severe burn out. I practice Chi kung every day now, that helps me. But I must skip jang practices. Can you tell me about the swimming dragon and maybe advice other practices? Thank you very much. 🙌🏻

@amybernard4638 11 месяцев назад

Good morning Nick! Thank you for your wonderful practice. Those swimming dragons!!! Love love love. May I ask, from where does anxiety come from? More specifically, social anxiety? Can you offer any advice to overcome, as it relates to ancient Chinese philosophy? I know that's a big question! lol First thoughts...?
