A large-print beginner’s guide to qigong: breathing basics and the classic Eight Brocades — eight gentle pieces explained step by step, the full set in order (about 10–12 minutes), and a 2-week practice tracker. Practise at home beside a sturdy chair. Printable PDF — no physical product will be shipped.
Qigong is a gentle form of exercise combining slow movements, posture and breathing, traditionally practised in China. The Eight Brocades, or Ba Duan Jin, is one of the best-known qigong sets — eight short pieces, each repeated a few times.
This guide is for complete beginners, including older adults. Qigong pieces are simpler and repeated in place, while tai chi links movements into flowing sequences — this guide is qigong only.
This is a printable PDF download. No physical product will be shipped.
You practise standing on a clear, flat floor beside a sturdy chair, kept within reach. Three of the pieces can also be done seated, and you can hold the chair whenever you need to. Wear flat, non-slip shoes, keep bends shallow, and stop and sit down if you feel dizzy, in pain or out of breath.
