The most professional Qigong DVD
After sadly being unable to form a group to practice Qigong, I began a search for a DVD that would have everything I was looking for and would motivate me to practice often. Since there are hundreds out there, this is no easy task.
The Garripolis have done such a superb job. The DVD is professionally done, offering breathtaking landscapes that relax you.The couple, Francesco and Daisy-Lee, have extensive knowledge of Qigong and truly believe in its benefits.
They offer both a section which explains each series of movements and then an opportunity to practice the movements as a flowing set.
The couple presents the material in a peaceful, centered manner and very importantly, as instructors I connected with them very well and feel that it is easy to return "to class" on a regular schedule.
In addition to this DVD, Francesco Garripoli produced a second DVD which explains the history of Qigong in China, his introduction and time spent as a student as well as overcoming a devastating personal trauma using Qigong practice.
I most highly recommend it to anyone interested in Qigong. I also give 5 stars to their other DVD "Qigong for Cleansing".
The Energy of Tai Chi in a Smaller Space
I've looked for something like this for years: a Qigong system that I can do in a smaller space than Tai Chi, but which has the energy and deep relaxation of Tai Chi. I'm very, very pleased with the results of this system after 3 weeks of practice.
I missed Tai Chi after I moved to a smaller apartment. But this system, the Wuji system, is a good replacement.
Because the video uses the right camera angles and clear verbal instructions, you can easily learn the system from the video. (A rarity among instructional videos.)
This is a system you can embrace and really feel at home with. Definitely as satisfying as Tai Chi.
Excellent
Excellent for beginners very thorough and interesting historical background, very sympathetic host (and hostess), and straight forward exercises.
