From the Actor
Often referred to as "Chinese Yoga" or "Feng Shui for the Body", Qigong (pronounced chee-GUNG) is a gentle, ancient Chinese art of self-healing and fitness. It is practiced to promote energy flow, strengthen the physical body, create inner peace and harmonize the body, mind and spirit. Qigong cultivates and opens the flow of Qi, the vital energy that pulses through every living thing. According to Chinese medicine, when Qi is flowing freely and abundantly throughout the body the end result is vibrant health and longevity.

This energizing, yet peaceful, Qigong workout leads you in a warm up, seven individual sets and a warm down. It includes stretching and strengthening exercises, breathwork, creative visualization, self-massage, vocalization of sounds and meditation through movement and stillness. This workout will help you to maintain youthful skin, eyes, hair, and healthy muscles and tendons, fortify bones, release pain, improve sexual vitality, increase blood circulation, promote mental clarity and nurture spirit.

Customer Reviews

Great video!
I've read the book, Qigong for Staying Young and practiced the set Shoshanna Katzman describes in great detail in the book. What I wanted was a video that I could practice with, not a video that takes the time to reiterate the philosophy and details found in the book. This video is perfect for that need. Katzman leads me through the exercises each morning. She does the exercises in a lovely green forest, which itself is soothing and in winter will give me a dose of summer. There's also inobtrusive music that complements the movements and mood. Thanks, Shoshanna Katzman, for helping me help my 60 year old body feel better each day.

Katzman keeps you young
This well written and detailed instruction is fabulous especially when combined with the DVD of the same name. Fun and great to share with others, family & friends!

Qigong DVD
This is a great DVD. Both peaceful and energizing and so good for your health. You don't have to be a fitness guru to exercise with Shoshanna. You can be 9 or 90. If you can stand, you can do these exercises.
