About the Course Baduanjin, or “Eight Pieces of Brocade,” is a beautiful and accessible Chi Kung/ Qigong form designed to nurture strength, flexibility, balance and inner calm. Through a gentle sequence of flowing movements, coordinated breathing and mindful awareness, Baduanjin helps you release tension, improve circulation and reconnect with your body. It is also one of the oldest documented forms of daoyin, ‘self care’. Suitable for all ages and levels of experience, it offers a simple yet powerful way to bring greater vitality and relaxation into everyday life.

There are suggested donations to help cover the cost of running these classes, including an offering to Dan for his time.
