Still on the theme of the warrior moves - this time it’s Golden Ball Warrior. Inhaling as we rise and drawing the arms to the body, exhaling as we lower and open the arms. A meditative, pulsing flow for calm.

Taken from the Eight Silk Brocades sequence this is a lovely flowing movement that’ll help build strength in the legs and core while also bringing motion to the back and arms.

Let’s challenge our balance a bit more with heron - opening the hips as we rest one ankle on the opposite knee before moving to the other side. The arms are getting a good stretch here too - image you’re carrying full teacups and don’t want to spill a drop.

This is a great move to practice your balance and to help keep you supple and flexible. Raise one leg with the opposite palm facing toward the inside of the knee. Try to move slowly from side to side. If you're working on your balance do also hold onto a chair or counter top for extra support - remember to start slowly and build.

Taking chair pose from yoga and adapting it into a flowing qigong style. Great for the arms, spine, hips, glutes & knees. Let’s just say it’s a work out for the whole body!

This is one of the many ‘dragon’ forms in qigong. If you hear dragon in relation to a movement it’s likely to refer to a spinal movement. Here we’re lifting the arms, stretching and twisting to the sides. Building strength in the arms and mobility in the back, spine and sides. The arm movements can take a bit of getting used to - so this is also good for concentration and coordination!
