DAOYIN YANG SHENG GONG SHI ER FA (12 Methods of Guiding The Chi) 
The 12-movement qigong form presented is taken from over 50 forms developed by Professor Zhang Guangde, one of the world’s leading qigong teachers, and can be practised in both seated and standing positions.
The movements are graceful and easy to learn, and are based on the tenets of Chinese Medicine, working with the Zang Fu organs (comprising the heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney, gall bladder, stomach, small intestine, large intestine and bladder), the meridians, balancing yin-yang, the Five Elements, and Qi and blood.
Through integrating breathing exercises into Yangsheng, the 12 steps are effective for promoting good health, preserving life and cultivating the spirit, and they are suitable for all ages.

DA WU HEALTH QIGONG (The Healing Dance)
The graceful joint-relaxing dance-like exercises of Da Wu, an ancient qigong, originated from the Tang Yao Period (about 4,000 years ago) and is a health-preserving method which channels the joints and dredges the meridians.
Da Wu lays stress on flexing movements and the rotation of joints throughout the body to help improve health and wellbeing. It is simple and graceful, smooth and flexible, coordinated with mind and Qi enhancing upper limb strength, flexibility, balance, and cardiovascular system function, and improving mood.  A beneficial and easy qigong form for practitioners of all levels, including beginners and of special interest to anyone interested in the ancient qigong forms.
