Yi Jin Jing is an ancient fitness method primarily focused on stretching tendons and bones, improving flexibility and strengthening the body. The name “Yi” signifies change, transformation, and adaptation; “Jin” refers to tendons, fascia, and meridians; and “Jing” carries the connotation of guidance or code. Yi Jin Jing, with its variations in postures, focused areas, and breathing techniques, is suitable for different groups of people. Practitioners should relax their mind and achieve unity of body and mind; breathe naturally; balance strength and gentleness; integrate movement and breath; and guide the Qi (vital energy) with the form, allowing the mind to follow the form. It is easy to learn and practice.

Hun Yuan Stance is an ancient health-preserving exercise that seeks movement within stillness and stillness within movement. Key points for practice: Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, regulate your mind, breath, and body, relax your body, breathe steadily, and maintain a peaceful state of mind; Spread your fingers, palms facing inward, slightly rotate your wrists inward; Inward embrace and outward support, feet as if rooted; Relax your shoulders and elbows, slightly tuck your chest and straighten your back. Lift your head like the Baihui point is hanging and lower your perineum. Keep your shoulders relaxed, do not shrug.

As the name suggests, involve expelling the turbid air from the internal organs and inhaling the pure air of heaven and earth. Through slow, even, and deep breaths, these techniques train the lungs. Since the lungs govern qi (vital energy), breathing exercises increase our qi. Sufficient qi can then generate blood and essence, which in turn generate qi, blood, and body fluids—the material basis of human life activities. Practicing these techniques allows the body to quickly enter an aerobic state, enhancing cardiopulmonary function, burning accumulated fat in the abdomen and liver, expelling toxins, and positively impacting internal respiration.

Ba Duan Jin is a traditional Chinese health-preserving exercise originating in the Song Dynasty, with a history of over 800 years. The name “Eight-Section Brocade” refers to eight movements, “Section” to a segment, and “Brocade” to its graceful and flowing form, combining health benefits with artistic value. As a model of traditional Chinese medicine exercises, Eight-Section Brocade integrates breathing regulation, limb movement, and mental guidance, effectively regulating internal organs, clearing meridians, and strengthening the body.

To change the body, people must first change physiology. The root of human physiology lies in the testicles for men and the ovaries for women. The lower part of the Yi Jin Jing exercises the perineum, the meeting point of the Ren, Du, and Chong meridians, located at the base of the spine. The spine is where the Du meridian passes, and it is also the pathway for the rise and fall of essence. The Du meridian runs through the spine and belongs to the kidneys. The kidneys are the foundation of innate essence and the source of marrow. Therefore, by practicing the lower part of the Yi Jin Jing, one can open the Du meridian of the spine, change the essence and tendons, cleanse the bone marrow, and replenish kidney qi.
