Embrace the Tiger, Return to the Mountain

This flow is like the mantra for Qi Gong itself. It’s what Qi Gong strives to embody.

The tiger is a powerful animal, as well as a courageous one. We can learn from these beautiful creatures. When we observe them, we notice how they move with graceful, intentional motion, just like a Qi Gong practitioner going through a flow sequence.

The mountain is a symbol of stability and the Earth itself. Thus, this flow exemplifies the balance of peaceful groundedness with powerful vitality.

Embrace the Tiger, Return to the Mountain:

Exhale – hips glide back

inhale – roll up

Exhale – drop the elbows, push forward

Inhale – circle around
