Taichi Qigong Shibashi – Level 1

There are more than 1000 styles of Qigong. Shibashi is one of the most popular styles of qigong around the world as it is effective and easy to learn. This qigong is designed to equally balance the Qi flow hence it is more popular all over the world. The basis is to synchronize the gentle and deep breathing along with the gentle movements thus makes it very effective as a simple and easy routine. As a practitioner and now a coach, I have experienced that many people as beginners, start to feel Qi and experience significant improvement in their health within just few weeks of their sincere practice.
