Evening Qigong for Longevity in Okinawa, Japan | CHILL GONG
This video includes gentle silk reeling qigong exercises, and qigong for the kidneys, qigong for the lower dan tian, and qigong for the water element.
Filmed on the Japanese tropical Island of Longevity, Okinawa. This set was inspired by the soft ocean waves, and laid back yet energetic lifestyle of the locals here. This routine is designed to improve mobility, resiliency, and fluidity of the joints of the hips, neck, and spine. It also works on developing the "Water Element" within, which in Traditional Chinese Medicine relates to our kidneys, adrenal glands, hormones, and overall longevity.
Video recorded, edited, written, and performed by Nick Loffree.

Such a wonderful practice. I know I keep repeating myself but these classes are always fresh and new. I am so grateful. Thank you, Nick.

Lovely practice! I was a bit surprised, though, when commercials started to interrupt the practice. I don't recollect this being the case before. Just so you know, Nick. Perhaps KZfaq changed some settings.

Oh, thanks for letting me know! It looks like I can’t control the settings on this video because I’m sharing the copywrite with the musician… darn

@@TheNickLoffree oh awesome, thank you! Also my mom suffers from moderate kyphosis hunched upper back & forward neck. Are there any qi gong movements you can do to help improve posture, reverse kyphosis, & enhance balance for fall prevention etc.?

What a peaceful and gentle practice. Having missed the livestream I am so grateful for the Chi Dojo. But how strange that a lad from Toronto ( the wet, slushy winters and nasty humid summers ) would consider moving to Okinawa, a place of beauty, grace, ocean, flowers, fabulous food and no snow. I wonder why ? Thank you, Nick, for not only sharing your knowledge and the lovely variations of movements but also for sharing the beautiful places that you find.

thanks i like the long practice, i would have preferred less ad breaks as they took me out the flow state of relaxation with abrupt unexpected voices which created anxiety and i guess everyones just trying to meet their needs

Okinawa - the birthplace of karate as a result of Japanese and Chinese culture. Dare I say that the meeting of American civilisation with the same culture may have led locals to become morbidly obese😮. The island known for longevity is all of a sudden facing the threat of the effects of ultra processed foods. 😢 Thanks again for this wonderful routine Nick. I’m coming back to it again and again. Arigato gozaimas.
