Qigong Routine – Level 1

It is important to practice qigong regularly. It should be part of your daily life. Learning this routine will help you to fit practice into your life, whenever you can, wherever you are. This is the same routine that we practice every Tuesday evening in our Qigong & Tai Chi Classes.

You can adapt this routine to fit into your day, no matter what time you have available. If you have lots of spare time, or wish to make the time available, you could complete the whole routine every day for maximum benefit. If you’re short on time, you could choose a few exercises to practice through the week and complete the whole routine at the weekend, or a day off when you have more time.

You will be sent an instructional video where Sifu Hepple will guide you through the various exercises of this routine. The routine consists of warm up exercises. These stretch and open up channels in the body. There are main qigong exercises, to replenish, balance and revitalise your body and mind. Also cool down exercises to relax, settle and store your replenished energy reserves. Each exercise in the video is time stamped in the description section. You can refer quickly to any of the exercises in the routine. You may follow along to the complete routine, or if you prefer, you can skip only to the exercises you want to perform and follow along with them.

You may also send videos of yourself practicing to Sifu Hepple to ensure correct position and alignment. You will also receive a document listing all the exercises of the full routine. This will help you to choose which ones that you would like to perform.
