I love this practice. Great instruction. I feel so wonderful afterwards. I do this many times a week. Thank you for such a lovely session. I do many of your practices and find them all wonderful with great instruction.
I came back with feedback after not even 12 hours after my first time doing this. I have been struggling with anxiety and panic disorder meaning I couldn't even leave my bed and hyperventilating for hours. A doctor reccomended me this and here I am. I couldn't even do the breathing exercise (because of my anxiety and hoping with time I'll be able to do it), I only focused on movement and today has been the first day in 3 weeks in which I haven't felt anxiety and I have been very calm. I feel like it's a miracle for me! Thank you for this!
That's wonderful Sakura, I'm so glad you found the 8 Brocades practice helpful - the breath will find its own rhythm in time. Wishing you peace and calm with your practice. Warmest wishes, Lily 🙏
That's wonderful John, I'm so glad you've found the Eight Brocades to be so beneficial. It's my absolute favourite so thank you for practicing with me 😊 Lily
I’m disabled, 27 years old and use a wheelchair. I’ve become very sedentary and it’s hard to find good exercise. I just tried this while sitting on the floor and while I wasn’t able to do anything with my legs, my upper body feels fantastic after doing these stretches. I want to make it a daily routine. Thank you! From Missouri, USA ❤
Hi Emily, thank you for the lovely feedback ❤️ I'm so glad you found the Eight Brocades of benefit for stretching and exercise - Qigong is a wonderfully beneficial exercise and in particular Eight Brocades and Yi Jin Jing (muscle tendon strengthening exercise [ th-cam.com/video/5d-aBIOKg_8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ut3aEVSKi7ioxchP ]), and are just as beneficial for wheelchair users as for anyone. I teach Qigong chair classes and the results for the lovely practitioners has been amazing - It's so wonderful that your strong spirit has lead you to these practices 🙏 Lily
Qigong was mentioned in How to Starve Cancer by Jane McLelland. A couple days later I was in a Charity Shop and a book on Qigong was there so I bought it for £1. My wife and I were going to start together. Time passed without doing it and I had some reflexology and unprompted she told me to do Qigong The Universe has brought you and Qigong to me, thank you x
The universe sometimes goes out of its way to bring our attention to something that we need. I’m so glad that you have found these qigong practices and hope that they will serve you well and that they will bring you health and happiness in time 😊 Lily
@@YogaLilyStudio thank you. I just did my practise in the garden being ‘buzzed’ by Swallows who have just returned to UK from Africa! I am currently completing a Course in teaching meditation. I will incorporate Qigong in my sessions when I am better at it! I’m currently waiting for my GP to get me onto a Tai Chi ‘prescription’ hosted in the gardens of the Doctors Surgery 😁
@@ACTIVEPAIR - it's wonderful to be able to practice outside and how wonderful to be 'buzzed' by the Swallows while you practice.

this is the clearest Brocades video I have seen and do it daily for neck and back issues. Thanks for your teaching. I am 75 and these are very doable. I have found it to be more effective than physical therapy exercises I have been doing for back and neck.

Hello Michael, Eight Brocades and Yi Jin Jing th-cam.com/video/5d-aBIOKg_8/w-d-xo.html are really great ways to start or finish a day. Yi Jin Jing is used by Shaolin as their warm up muscles, tendons and joints before practicing their martial arts. 😊 Lily
@@michaelgravlund9194 - Hi Michael, that's wonderful, take time and feel no need to complete all of the movements. It's quite nice to focus on just one and repeat the moment as many times it is comfortable to build the strength and flexibility over time. Wishing you health and happiness, Lily 🙏
Hi! Is this the version officially approved by the National General Administration of Sports of China? I am researching on that version that was used in small clinical trials for treatment of knee pain and osteoarthritis.
Hello Mark, yes, you are correct. The Eight Brocades Health Qigong was developed in collaboration with the Chinese government's administration of sports and the International Health Qigong Association. They've developed quite a few wonderful practices designed for benefitting health. Eight brocades is used in hospitals in China for recover from illness and post surgery. 🙏 Lily
Just started back into tai chi after so many years of not doing it. Learning qigong now at the same place. My teacher mentioned your video on qigong. I did have a question when you are doing the archery stance is it in a front stance position are a horse stance I couldn’t tell. Ty
Hi Ty, thank you for the great question - the Shooting as an Archer sequence is done in Horse Stance. I'm so glad you are finding your way back in to Tai Chi and exploring the Qigong practices too. It was very kind of your teacher to point you to my qigong practice 🙏 Lily
@@phoenixlightningstorm1675 - that’s wonderful, there are lots of wonderful practices to explore, wishing you a great journey 🙏 would your teacher be Master Annette Palacios by any chance? She’s lovely 😊 Lily
Hello,I am 75 years old person doing Tai chi exercises since 4 years and I find 8 brocades extremely beneficial for body and mind. I do these 8 exercises almost every morning. Your way of teaching is very clear. My one question is how many repetitions of each one exercise can be practised at a session . I will be obliged to know from you. Thank you.
Hello Ramakrishna, thank you for your kind feedback and question. The eight brocades practice is not fixed to a set amount of repetitions for the exercises. A gentler version would be to only do a repetition once each side (left & right), and the stretching up and folding down exercises just 3 times. If you wished to focus more on a single exercise, you could repeat as many times equally each side as you felt benefit. In Health Qigong we try to limit the movement to what is beneficial to you as a practitioner rather than it becoming a strenuous exercise. I hope this is helpful, and thank you for practicing together with me. ☯️😊 Lily
😊 Thank you Amanda, I hope to have some more practices for you soon. I am studying with the Open University just at the moment so haven't had as much time to do the videos this last couple months. Exams in a couple of weeks, so will have some time soon! Lily 🙏
I'll try but given the side effects of my stroke I highly doubt I can do the arms over the head moves. Couldn't hurt to try I guess. I'm used to modifying routines after all. Got any physical disability friendly routines?
I hope you've been able to continue to enjoy the Eight Brocades practice - Did you find trying the practice seated helpful? I will try to create some practices in future that a friendly for everyone. I've been unable to create videos for some time as I was injured in an accident which has damaged my ankle and needs surgery. I'm hoping to be able to create again soon. Lily 😊
I am curious about the one pose called "Archer" why is the index finger pulled up and the hand at a 90 Degree angle. I thought the index finger was supposed to point out into the distance. Isnt the hand bent position "Kiu Sao" from Hung Gar. For Chi gung purpose the opening of chest, shoulder and back seems inhibited by the Kiu Sao which is more of a combat, hard style position. I have wondered about this for a long time. I appreciate any insite you can give me, thank you.
Hello John, the flexed wrist with finger pointed up is a hollow hand for collecting Qi at the 'lao gong point'. Focus on the finger tip 'Shang yang point' enhances the liver Qi, as it is opening in to the eyes regulating joints. Also around the wrist when flexed will stimulate the lung and large intestine line meridian 'tai yuan point'. One hand pushing out, the other pulling in fromt of the shoulder 'yun men point' will fully open the chest, shoulder and heart, also the upper back. There is a lot more subtle detail to this sequence and I am planning to make some videos diving deeper in to this. If you would like to subscribe you will be able to catch these when they come out. Hope this is helpful for now, 谢谢 Lily
Hello, and thank you. A question for you, did you say the hands are connected to the heart? The reason I ask is that I always have cold hands even if I am not feeling cold.
Hello Angela, thank you for the question. Our hands are linked to our heart, lung, pericardium and more via the meridian pathways. With regular practice Qigong will regulate the Qi and blood in the body improving circulation. Maybe you could join us at our online classes via yogalily.com where I have more time to explain at my weekly classes. Warmest wishes, Lily 😊
Hi Louis, thank you for the question. The music is called Eight Brocades Health Qigong, it was written specifically for the practice - the International Health Qigong Federation have commissioned bespoke music for all their practices - I hope this helps 🙏 Lily
Hi Ridhwan, these exercises practiced regularly morning and evening; also combined with healthy diet and lifestyle, would be able to help you as one part of a weight loss goal. 😊🙏

Hello Lily. Great video 👍. Is there one of your videos/exercise that is good for morning exercise ?
Hello Michael,
Eight Brocades and Yi Jin Jing th-cam.com/video/5d-aBIOKg_8/w-d-xo.html are really great ways to start or finish a day. Yi Jin Jing is used by Shaolin as their warm up muscles, tendons and joints before practicing their martial arts. 😊 Lily
@@YogaLilyStudio thank you Lily. Just did the Yi Jin Jing.... some of the moves are difficult for me right now but I will practice 👍😉
@@michaelgravlund9194 - Hi Michael, that's wonderful, take time and feel no need to complete all of the movements. It's quite nice to focus on just one and repeat the moment as many times it is comfortable to build the strength and flexibility over time. Wishing you health and happiness, Lily 🙏
@@YogaLilyStudio thank you for your reply. I will be patient and take one step at a time 😉
@@michaelgravlund9194 😊🙏 You're welcome

Hi! Is this the version officially approved by the National General Administration of Sports of China? I am researching on that version that was used in small clinical trials for treatment of knee pain and osteoarthritis.
Hello Mark, yes, you are correct. The Eight Brocades Health Qigong was developed in collaboration with the Chinese government's administration of sports and the International Health Qigong Association. They've developed quite a few wonderful practices designed for benefitting health. Eight brocades is used in hospitals in China for recover from illness and post surgery. 🙏 Lily
@@YogaLilyStudio Thank you very much. I appreciate it!
@@markdeguzman6556 - You're welcome, good luck with the research 🤓 Lily
Just started back into tai chi after so many years of not doing it. Learning qigong now at the same place. My teacher mentioned your video on qigong. I did have a question when you are doing the archery stance is it in a front stance position are a horse stance I couldn’t tell. Ty
Hi Ty, thank you for the great question - the Shooting as an Archer sequence is done in Horse Stance. I'm so glad you are finding your way back in to Tai Chi and exploring the Qigong practices too. It was very kind of your teacher to point you to my qigong practice 🙏 Lily
Oh k thank you. I’m brand new in qigong like 3 days new lol. My teacher mentioned the video so I’ll be practicing when I’m not at classes to
@@phoenixlightningstorm1675 - that’s wonderful, there are lots of wonderful practices to explore, wishing you a great journey 🙏 would your teacher be Master Annette Palacios by any chance? She’s lovely 😊 Lily
I am def looking forward to it. No her name is Sandy @@YogaLilyStudio
@@phoenixlightningstorm1675 - that’s wonderful 🙏 Also a very kind thank you to your teacher Sandy
Muchas Gracias !!!
De nada, gracias por practicar conmigo 😊Lily
Thank you
You're welcome Otori, thank you very much for practicing with me ☯️ Lily
Hello,I am 75 years old person doing Tai chi exercises since 4 years and I find 8 brocades extremely beneficial for body and mind. I do these 8 exercises almost every morning. Your way of teaching is very clear. My one question is how many repetitions of each one exercise can be practised at a session . I will be obliged to know from you. Thank you.
Hello Ramakrishna, thank you for your kind feedback and question. The eight brocades practice is not fixed to a set amount of repetitions for the exercises. A gentler version would be to only do a repetition once each side (left & right), and the stretching up and folding down exercises just 3 times. If you wished to focus more on a single exercise, you could repeat as many times equally each side as you felt benefit. In Health Qigong we try to limit the movement to what is beneficial to you as a practitioner rather than it becoming a strenuous exercise. I hope this is helpful, and thank you for practicing together with me. ☯️😊 Lily
@@YogaLilyStudio Thanks for the promt reply.I shall follow your advise .Be blessed.
More more, i just subscribed it:)
😊 Thank you Amanda, I hope to have some more practices for you soon. I am studying with the Open University just at the moment so haven't had as much time to do the videos this last couple months. Exams in a couple of weeks, so will have some time soon! Lily 🙏
@@YogaLilyStudio awesome. All the best for your exam lily^^ definitely will wait for your next video then. Stay safe and healthy always
@@1001mand Thank you very much 😊 and you too
Love it!! Love it!! Where are you located? Are you giving classes in person? Tks!!
Hi Ana, I have replied for you on your other post. I'm in the UK, and have online classes too. Lily
@@YogaLilyStudio tks so much for answering!! 🙏🏼Sorry but I have a delay in my messages due to a hurricane. I”ll ck your online classes
@@anasalvapr No problem, my website is yogalily.com - The classes a listed under timetable. Hope the hurricane hasn't caused too much damage. Lily
@@YogaLilyStudio tks so much!! 🙏🏼💜
I'll try but given the side effects of my stroke I highly doubt I can do the arms over the head moves. Couldn't hurt to try I guess. I'm used to modifying routines after all. Got any physical disability friendly routines?
I hope you've been able to continue to enjoy the Eight Brocades practice - Did you find trying the practice seated helpful? I will try to create some practices in future that a friendly for everyone. I've been unable to create videos for some time as I was injured in an accident which has damaged my ankle and needs surgery. I'm hoping to be able to create again soon. Lily 😊
👍👍👍 muito bom mestra
Você é realmente bem-vindo. Obrigado por praticar junto comigo. 😊 Lily
Thanks
You're welcome TJ, thank you for taking time to practice with me 😊 Lily
I am curious about the one pose called "Archer" why is the index finger pulled up and the hand at a 90 Degree angle. I thought the index finger was supposed to point out into the distance.
Isnt the hand bent position "Kiu Sao" from Hung Gar. For Chi gung purpose the opening of chest, shoulder and back seems inhibited by the Kiu Sao which is more of a combat, hard style position. I have wondered about this for a long time. I appreciate any insite you can give me, thank you.
Hello John, the flexed wrist with finger pointed up is a hollow hand for collecting Qi at the 'lao gong point'. Focus on the finger tip 'Shang yang point' enhances the liver Qi, as it is opening in to the eyes regulating joints. Also around the wrist when flexed will stimulate the lung and large intestine line meridian 'tai yuan point'. One hand pushing out, the other pulling in fromt of the shoulder 'yun men point' will fully open the chest, shoulder and heart, also the upper back. There is a lot more subtle detail to this sequence and I am planning to make some videos diving deeper in to this. If you would like to subscribe you will be able to catch these when they come out. Hope this is helpful for now, 谢谢 Lily
@@YogaLilyStudio That is very helpful Lily, thank you very much!
@@YogaLilyStudio Thanks again Lily, I subscribed!
@@johnbeard3733 that's great!
@@johnbeard3733 - You are welcome... I'm waiting for the weather to warm up -3°C today, so that I can get out making videos again 😊
Hello, and thank you. A question for you, did you say the hands are connected to the heart? The reason I ask is that I always have cold hands even if I am not feeling cold.
Hello Angela, thank you for the question. Our hands are linked to our heart, lung, pericardium and more via the meridian pathways. With regular practice Qigong will regulate the Qi and blood in the body improving circulation. Maybe you could join us at our online classes via yogalily.com where I have more time to explain at my weekly classes. Warmest wishes, Lily 😊
Would love to know what this music is called
Hi Louis, thank you for the question. The music is called Eight Brocades Health Qigong, it was written specifically for the practice - the International Health Qigong Federation have commissioned bespoke music for all their practices - I hope this helps 🙏 Lily
@@YogaLilyStudio Great to know, thank you!
Thanks ❤️
I'm glad you liked it. I'm hoping to be posting a brand new 12 minute practice (Yi Jin Jing) this weekend...
Can this be use as one of way to loss weight? Along with the five animals exercise one?
Hi Ridhwan, these exercises practiced regularly morning and evening; also combined with healthy diet and lifestyle, would be able to help you as one part of a weight loss goal. 😊🙏
@@YogaLilyStudio thank you for the answer
