Some Qigong is practiced sitting or standing still, while other Qigong can be a kind of moving meditation.

Fantastic resource for qigong!
Great background. Wish breathing was covered.
I love this app so much becoz it is da best for beginner
Great, but very expensive
The eight pieces have benefited me a lot. In the videos one can see exactly how it is done and there is plenty of theory and background, if you want it. The video is structured so you can just view the movements if you wish. Another very useful product from Dr. Yang and well worth the small price being charged.
I have no picture for the video. Tried streaming and download, both the same, sound but no video... 2 stars for that as not much use, disliked it isn't the correct description. Would like to be able to use the app as the reviews are great. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling, still no video just sound.
I was so excited when I watched the first video (intro to qi gong) but then it asks if I want to unlock all the training videos for 9.99 ? Of course I don't and especially now that I see the bad energy of greed oozing from this app, thanks for wasting my time
It's a worth having this app
Shows a limited amount of info but ultimately it is about parting with a lot of money to get the full set of videos...
I don't normally write reviews but I feel that Dr Yang is simply spectacular. Every single movement is explained with the utmost detail, precision and excellence. I have purchased many of Dr Yang's works and I am continually delighted with the quality and care, I fully recommend this series!
We have a saying which goes: "a good wine doesn't need a crown". This is the case - thorough tuition, clear instructions. Good value for money.
As always with YMAA great stuff. Thorough, detailed, packed with information and great quality. If you know YMAA stuff you already know what to expect, this does not disappoint!
The best qigong app. **Update 10/24/16: New app version is much smaller file size and now has streaming video!*** I love how this has a short overview of each exercise, then a continuous demonstration of the whole series. I was able to learn them quickly, and then follow-along with the Master. After that, he talks in more depth about how and why each exercise improves your health and details for correct practice. He seems really nice. Awesome to have easy access to this Master teacher's authentic qigong.
It's not free like it was advertised
I love it
Great i just finished the firs seasson and feels ok, what recommends to complemens the lessons for the beginners?
